Palm Lily

Palm-Lily

Common name : Cabbage Palm, Cabbage Tree, New Zealand Cabbage Palm, Red Grass Palm

Scientific name : Cordylineaustralis

Family : Asparagaceae

Native land : New Zealand (Australasia), Morocco

This is a palm-like, sub-tropical tree. The plant has several stout branches arising from a single trunk. The leaves are long, sword-shaped, in dense clusters at the branch tips. The plant bears large panicles of small, fragrant cream flowers. The bloom time is in spring. Vast spikes of scented flowers in late summer can fill a garden with perfume. Resultant seed-laden trusses help birds through winter. It is primarily the combination of its tall slender trunk and the explosions of strap-like foliage at the top of the trunk that gives it its palm-like image.
