Plant of the Day
Friday 22 November 2019
In Cambridge Botanic Garden, UK, the white fruits of Cordyline australis (cabbage palm, Torquay palm) were providing a display even from a distance. This monocotyledon is an endemic to New Zealand, with long evergreen leaves in dense clusters at the branch tips and creates a small tree with stout branches coming from a single trunk. The distinctive habit of this plant means it needs to be used with care within garden and landscape designs.
