Native Cabbage Tree (Ti Kouka)

Description

Iconic New Zealand cabbage trees produce large heads of stiff foliage atop tall stately trunks. Cabbage trees make excellent accents, specimen trees or container plants.

Fill a seed tray with Yates Black Magic Seed Raising Mix. Press mix firmly into tray; water and allow to drain. Sow seed and cover lightly with seed raising mix. Place tray in a warm, shady, sheltered place and mist with water, as required, to keep moist (not wet). Germination times of native seeds vary from 2 weeks to several months. Once seedlings are 3-5cm high, transplant into small individual pots. Grow on until a root ball establishes and transplant into the garden or containers. Plant height 4 – 6m
