Cordyline australis, commonly known as cabbage tree or ti kouka, is an iconic native New Zealand plant. Its long, sword-shaped leaves form a distinctive crown atop a tall trunk, making it a striking feature in the landscape. In summer, it produces fragrant white flowers, followed by clusters of small, white berries. Resilient and versatile, it thrives in diverse habitats, from coastal areas to forests. Moderate flammability species.
