NEW ZEALAND CABBAGE TREES (CORDYLINE AUSTRALIS). Iconic native tree of New Zealand. Frequently seen in both town and country.
The cabbage tree looks particularly beautiful when in flower.
These cabbage trees are growing in the median strip of a street in the city of Invercargill in the south of the South Island.

This is one great Cordyline! I thought mine growing in my plant pot on my decking was nice until I saw this 🙂

Glad to make you smile 🙂 Oh, I am enjoying it. Give it a few decades and I might be impressed with it then 😉
