Cordyline australis 125-150cm Multistem

Cordyline australis, commonly known as the New Zealand cabbage tree, is a striking and architectural plant prized for its tall, palm-like appearance and evergreen foliage. The 125-150cm Multistem variety features multiple stems, adding to its visual appeal and making it an excellent focal point in both garden beds and containers. With its tropical appearance and low-maintenance requirements, Cordyline australis is a popular choice for adding height and interest to garden landscapes.

Planting and Establishment

• Location: Plant Cordyline australis in a sunny to partially shaded location, protected from strong winds.
• Soil Type: Prefers well-drained, fertile soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. Amend heavy clay soil with organic matter to improve drainage.
• Planting Time: Plant in spring or early autumn to allow roots to establish before winter or summer extremes.
• Spacing: Allow sufficient space between plants, approximately 2-3 meters apart, to accommodate the mature spread.
• Planting Depth: Set the plant at the same depth as it was in its nursery container, ensuring the root ball is level with the soil surface.
• Watering: Water deeply after planting to settle the soil and provide moisture for establishment. Once established, Cordyline australis is drought-tolerant and requires minimal supplemental watering.

Maintenance and Care

• Pruning: Remove dead or damaged leaves as needed to maintain a tidy appearance. Prune out any frost-damaged stems in spring.
• Fertilization: Apply a balanced fertilizer in spring to promote healthy growth and vibrant foliage. Avoid excessive nitrogen, which can lead to soft, leggy growth.
• Mulching: Apply a layer of mulch around the base of the plant to conserve moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature.
• Protection from Frost: In regions with frosty winters, protect young plants with fleece or horticultural fleece during cold spells.
• Pest and Disease Management: Cordyline australis is generally pest and disease-resistant but may occasionally suffer from aphid infestations or root rot in poorly-drained soil. Monitor regularly and treat as necessary.

Landscape Uses and Design Tips

• Architectural Focal Point: Use as a dramatic focal point in garden beds or containers, adding height and visual interest.
• Tropical and Mediterranean Gardens: Cordyline australis lends a tropical or Mediterranean feel to garden landscapes, complementing other exotic plants.
• Coastal Gardens: Tolerates coastal conditions well, including salt-laden winds and sandy soil, making it suitable for coastal gardens.
• Container Planting: Plant in large containers for patio or courtyard displays, providing a bold and exotic touch to outdoor living spaces.
• Mixed Borders: Plant alongside other architectural plants, grasses, or flowering perennials for contrast and texture in mixed borders.
