Cordyline australis

Cabbage Palm

Cordyline australis, the classic Cabbage Palm, develops into a small evergreen tree with a single trunk and clusters of long, sword-like leaves. In summer, mature plants carry large sprays of fragrant cream flowers, followed by berries. Holding the RHS Award of Garden Merit, this drought-tolerant and low-maintenance tree is widely loved in Ireland, especially for coastal gardens and architectural planting schemes.
