Cordyline australis – Wholesale

Cordyline australis with its mop top head is commonly called the ‘Cabbage Tree’.

Originally from New Zealand it is widely grown throughout Australia and can reach 10 – 15m in height.

It is the cultivars with colourful foliage that have come to the forefront in recent years. Cordyline australis has thinner or finer foliage that other species.

A trunk forming plant, over time it does form a large root system so is best planted away from paths etc when grown in the ground.

Cordyline australis is often grown as a container plant, and works well as a feature plant in these conditions. More suited to cooler climates than some other species.
