Xanthorrhoea - grass tree

APPEARANCE :  Large tuft of long slender grass that over time develops a hollow thick trunk. Plants in flower send up a very tall green spike that opens into cream flowers, and dries to deep brown.

LOCATION : Plant in well drained soil in a full sun position in the garden. Grass trees will tolerate part shade. Avoid too much humidity as it can encourage the development of fungus in a sheltered spot.
CARE : Take care not to plant the crown of the plant below the soil level. Mulch and water only as required, drought tolerant once established. Regular watering will result in faster growth but your plant may not be as tolerant of harsh conditions.
