Cabbage Palm’ or ‘Dracaena’ Cornish Palm trees #203084385
Description
This hardy New Zealand native is so widely grown in Cornwall that is has become known and sold to tourists in shops and garages as the ââ¬ËCornish Palmââ¬â¢. Visitors to Dracaena Avenue in Falmouth or to the public parks in Penzance will have been amazed at the size of these huge, often multi stemmed, trees of up to 30 or so feet in height branching in maturity with flower heads and seeds heads 4-6ft long. Longer and larger in many instances than the leaf crowns from which they occur. Cabbage palms will easily tolerate the worst salt laden westerly gales which a West Country winter can throw at them and will readily tolerate -5ðC or even -10ðC for short periods especially when they have started to develop a woody trunk after five or so years.
