About Cordyline australis

▼

Cordyline australis, commonly known as the Cabbage Tree or New Zealand Cabbage Palm, is a striking and versatile plant native to New Zealand. It is popular in gardens and landscapes worldwide for its architectural form, drought tolerance, and distinctive foliage.

The Cabbage Tree typically features a single, slender trunk topped with a cluster of long, sword-shaped leaves that are dark green or variegated, depending on the variety. The leaves can grow up to 1 meter (3 feet) long, creating a spiky, palm-like appearance. Over time, the plant may develop multiple trunks, adding to its sculptural look.

In late spring to early summer, Cordyline australis produces fragrant, creamy-white flowers on tall, branching panicles, followed by small, white to bluish fruits. This plant can reach heights of 10-20 meters (33-66 feet) in its native habitat, though it often remains smaller in cultivation.

Architectural Beauty & Drought Tolerance: Cordyline australis is an attractive and hardy plant that adds a bold, tropical touch to gardens and landscapes. Its dramatic foliage and easy care make it a popular choice for both beginner and experienced gardeners.

Growing Conditions

▼

Light Requirements

Cordyline australis thrives in full sun to partial shade. It performs best in sunny locations where it receives at least 4-6 hours of direct sunlight daily, but it can tolerate some shade, especially in hotter climates.

Temperature Requirements

This plant prefers mild to warm climates and can tolerate a range of temperatures, from cool to subtropical. It is hardy down to about -9 °C (15 °F), making it suitable for temperate regions. In areas with severe winters, protection or container growing may be necessary.

Soil Requirements

The Cabbage Tree prefers well-draining, fertile soil but can adapt to various soil types, including sandy or loamy soils. It thrives in slightly acidic to neutral soil conditions. Good drainage is essential to prevent root rot and ensure optimal plant health.

Water Requirements

Once established, Cordyline australis is drought-tolerant and requires minimal watering. Water regularly during the first growing season to establish a deep, extensive root system. Afterward, water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out between watering. Overwatering should be avoided, particularly in cooler climates.

Planting & Care Guide

▼

Planting Instructions

Location: Choose a location with full sun or partial shade and well-draining soil. Hole Preparation: Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and as deep as the root ball. Backfilling: Backfill with soil and water thoroughly. Container Growing: If planting in a container, use a pot with drainage holes and a well-draining potting mix.

Fertilization Program

Feed Cordyline australis with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in the spring. An annual application of compost or organic mulch can also help maintain soil fertility and retain moisture.

Maintenance Requirements

Prune dead or damaged leaves to maintain a tidy appearance. As the plant grows, lower leaves may naturally yellow and die; these can be removed to keep the plant looking its best. In colder climates, mulch around the base to protect roots during winter.

Growing from Seeds

▼

Seed Preparation

Fresh seeds generally have the best germination rates. Soak the seeds in warm water for 24 hours before sowing to soften the seed coat and improve germination success.

Sowing Instructions

Sow the seeds in a well-draining seed-starting mix, such as a combination of sand, perlite, and peat. Plant the seeds about 1 cm (0.4 inches) deep and cover lightly with soil.

Germination Conditions

Temperature: Place the seed tray in a warm, bright area with temperatures around 20-25 °C (68-77 °F). Moisture: Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Timing: Germination can take anywhere from a few weeks to several months.

Seedling Care

Once seedlings appear, provide bright, indirect light and continue to keep the soil moist. Transplant seedlings into individual pots or into the garden once they are large enough to handle and the weather is warm enough for outdoor growth.

great scale (read tips for its super sensitivity)
Color: Onyx Black, Color: Onyx Black
in hopes this will help anyone else who bought this scale- this thing is super sensitive to vibrations. if your scale is getting off calibration for seemingly no reason, make sure the sides and the back aren’t touching anything else and that the bottom is on a flat surface and it will fix it entirely, trust me!! but aside from that, this scale works absolutely perfectly. it’s just the right size for my morning coffee, has great battery life, and is really straightforward to use. plus the silicone top makes it really easy to clean and looks nice on my countertop. the timer is super convenient for making coffee, this is an amazing scale for this price point

1 year review: Excellent coffee scale
Color: Onyx Black
I bought this about a year ago and have used it daily ever since. The scale is easy to read, fast to update, and is precise. My previous coffee scale cracked from the repeated heating from my v60 carafe even with a silicone pad within 6 months. This scale has endured and I'm quite happy with it's durability. It's accurate and precise enough I actually use it with my bread machine as well. It's a nice, low weight scale overall. Cleaning is fairly easy, I just wipe down with a damp cloth. You can pull the silicone pad off and wash it more thoroughly if you want. My only down side is that I find the batteries drain a little quickly. My normal kitchen scale can last years on a button battery, while I usually have to replace the batteries here every 6 months. I don't use the scale for more than 3-4 minutes at a time daily and once or twice a week a second time per day, and whether the battery life is due to the brightness of the display or the polling frequency of the scale, it's a minor enough quibble to not ding it's rating. It's not a cheap scale, but it appears to be one of those "buy once for a long time" investments. If you're serious about coffee dosing and measuring your water for pour over, it's easy to recommend.

Excellent coffee scale!
Love this scale! The display is pleasing, high-contrast and very clear. It has a silicone cover, and there are zero gaps around the screen and buttons, so it's easily cleaned and I don't worry about damaging the internals with water or crumbs. There is a tiny bit of float, typically less than a gram, and only occasionally. For example, I'll weigh out 19.3g of beans, seal the bag, and come back to 18.9g. It's minor enough and infrequent enough that it doesn't concern me at all. The readout is quick and responsive, and I love the timer. At first it seems a little confusing to switch between counting up and counting down, but after doing it once I have no trouble with it even half-asleep. Just hold the units button, press it again to change between modes, and use power & tare to set minutes and seconds if counting down (use play/pause to confirm each setting). Takes less than 10 seconds. Overall it's quick, accurate, and well-made. I love that it has a much smaller footprint than my old kitchen scale, and looks sleek on the counter. Perfect addition to my coffee station! I also highly recommend their gooseneck kettle if you're in the market ☕

Wobby? Fixable!
Color: Onyx Black, Color: Onyx Black
After a year and half of excellent performance, the platter became more and more wobbly but the readings were consistent. Finally, it was too wobbly and the readings were erratic. There was no obvious way to try to fix it and I couldn't find any help online. I wrote to Greater Goods customer service. While I was awaiting a reply I could barely see that there was a screw inside that appeared to connect to the back right behind the paper label. I pressed on the label, and it broke through to reveal...two screws! I tightened them both and my scale is back in action just like new! It's ready for years of upcoming service. If your unit starts to wobble, it's almost certainly fixable this way. Oh, and Urmila from customer service just reached out and I gave them the good news.

works great
Size: EK6002
i've had it for a couple of weeks now, and i will say, it works well. calibration isn't in the instructions, but, if you hit and hold all 4 buttons when you turn it on, after it says hello, it will enter cal mode. pressing unit advances to the next screen, which is the auto shut off time. if you turn off the power, or use all 4 buttons to reset it, it does not seem to save, so you will have to purchase calibration weights in order to change it. after setting the auto shutoff, it then lists the 3000 g, which is the max weight. it seems you can change it, but i haven't tried. the next shows random numbers, seemingly the raw value of the scale sensor, then it goes through asking for a 500g calibration weight, and after that, a 2000g calibration weight. the 1000g weight doesn't seem to be necessary. after calibration, the scale seems to do pretty well with the calibration weights. weighing in the center and in the corners seem to be repeatable, although it may be a little off at the very edges or corners. the mat that goes on top of the scale has a hangover on the left side, which helps keep it in place, but it can slide up and down. using the scale to measure liquid, it seems to refresh quick enough to easily allow you to gauge when to stop, although, it may depend on how quickly you pour. one thing to note, the precision mentioned in the description. this scale is accurate to 0.1g from 0-500g, 0.5g from 501-1000g, and 1g from 1001-3000g. this isn't over the weight range of the scale exactly, but rather over the displayed weight. meaning, if you decided to weigh pour over or something, in something heavy (or a collection of things), if you tare out the weight (zero it out to measure the difference), it will still display the first 500g up to 0.1g accuracy. that makes the 3000g limit of the scale much more useful. lastly, this is a rebranded scale...many make the same scale under a different brand. i can't remember which combination of buttons it was, but if you held 2 buttons at the same time, it would bring up a muted speaker (no sound) icon, even though this scale doesn't have sound to begin with. i'm very happy with this scale. the price was good, and realizing that the 0.1g accuracy works up to 500g after taring is great. i used it to measure the water and ice in my 64 oz yeti, to figure out how much water i was actually drinking (got very close to the limit of 3000g).
