Transform your UK garden with instant subtropical impact using our impressive 10ft double trunk Cordyline australis – the classic New Zealand Cabbage Palm (also known as Torbay Palm or Cabbage Tree). This mature multi-stemmed specimen features thick, rugged trunks crowned with a dramatic fountain of long, sword-like arching green leaves, creating a bold exotic focal point for patios, borders, courtyards, coastal gardens or contemporary landscapes.
Supplied at approximately 10ft (300cm) total height in a large pot, this double-trunk beauty delivers immediate architectural presence and tropical atmosphere. Cordyline australis is one of the hardiest exotic palms for British gardens (RHS H3/H4 in sheltered sites), thriving in mild, coastal or urban areas and pairing beautifully with other statement palms and exotics from our Palm Trees and plants-and-trees collections.
This multi-trunk Cordyline provides year-round interest with its striking foliage shape – perfect for evoking a Mediterranean or coastal vibe in UK outdoor spaces.
