Cabbage tree
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cabbage tree is a common name for several plant species:
- Andira inermis, native to Central and South America
- Cordyline australis, endemic to New Zealand
- Cussonia spicata, native to southern parts of Africa
- Lachanodes arborea (she cabbage tree), Melanodendron integrifolium (black cabbage tree) and Pladaroxylon leucadendron (he cabbage tree), arborescent members of the Asteraceae from St Helena
The name "cabbage tree" generally refers to the growth habit, particularly the tendency to form a large head of leaves (fancifully like a cabbage, Brassica oleracea) at least during the juvenile stages.
