  Cabbage tree (New Zealand) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Cabbage tree of New Zealand (Cordyline australis), known as Tī kāuka in Māori, is a monocotyledon endemic to New Zealand.
The overall visual effect is said by many to create a view reminiscent of a palm tree (it is occasionally even mis-named "Cornish palm", "Torbay palm" or "Manx palm" in the British Isles due to its extensive use within Torbay and as the official symbol of that area under its alternative identity, the English Riviera).
Since 1987, cabbage trees in New Zealand have been affected by a disease, which has been named "Sudden Decline", and usually leads to almost total defoliation of affected trees within 2-12 months.
