Mountain cabbage tree (Cordyline indivisa)

It forms a stout tree up to 8 m tall, with a trunk from 41 to 79 cm in diameter. The stem is usually unbranched, or has very few branches. The leaves are 99 to 201 cm long, and from 10 to 30 cm wide. The foliage, which droops with age, is blue-green and shaped like a broad sword, with a broad and conspicuous midrib which is often tinged red, orange red or golden. The inflorescence is a panicle that arises from the base of the growing points underneath the leaves.
