The Xanthorrhoea species, commonly known as Grass Trees, is a very old Australian native plant, some of which are over 1000 years old.
Young Grass Trees are slow to mature from seed and grow slowly at the rate of about 9mm per year so a one metre specimen is well over 100 years old.

Some people think that, being native, Xanthorrhoea should tolerate neglect, but in fact it needs generous watering for at least the first two years in a new home, and even when its roots are re-established, regular watering should continue; waterlogged soil of course
They enjoy mulch but resent fertiliser, a commodity which would not occur in the native bush.
Though shaving a plant or setting it alight can force it into flowering mode every year, this is unwise as it will drain its energy; Xanthorrhoea not subjected to stimuli will flower roughly on a five to seven year cycle.
