Blue Dracaena, Cordyline indivisa, Seeds Sub-Tropical Evergreen, Long Lived, Fragrant Flowers, Dramatic Foliage Color, Year-round Interest, Heat and Drought Tolerant, Container Plant Cordyline indivisa, commonly called Blue Dracaena or referred to as Cabbage Tree is a rare and beautiful high altitude species from New Zealand. It is a tall and majestic plant with long leaves that can reach widths of up to 1 foot and in young plants, tinted yellow and orange. Cordyline indivia prefers a moist, cool, even climate such as that of the Atlantic Coast in Europe or the Pacific Coast in the US and Canada. It will tolerate a little more cold and frost than Cordyline australis but is more demanding to grow. Once established it is less demanding. The name Cordyline comes from the Greek word for a club ‘kordyle’, referring to the enlarged rhizomes. Though often referred to as a Palm, they are actually members of the Agave family, (Agavaceae). Cordyline indivisa is very distinctive. The species can be distinguished from all other Cordyline species by its very broad blue-grey leaves and its smaller, tightly compacted inflorescence (cluster of flowers arranged on a stem) which is produced from beneath the foliage. It forms a stout tree up to 26 feet tall, with a trunk from 1 to 2.5 feet in diameter. The stem is usually unbranched or has very few branches. The leaves are 3 to 6 feet long and to 1 foot 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 flowers stem from a panicle that arises from the base of the growing points underneath the leaves. Uses: Cordyline indivisa combine well with other exotica, such as bananas and palms, but they look equally at home in more conventional and hardy ornamental borders, often used when small to give structure to annual bedding schemes. They look good adjacent to other large foliage plants or some of the softer, gentle grasses which offset the hard lines of the leaves. When choosing flowering neighbors for a Cordyline opt for fiery colors – reds, yellows and oranges for a dramatic display. Cordyline indivisa can be cut back to reduce height or to force multiple trunks. It looks most natural if planted in groups. Three or more plants can be planted together in the same hole to produce this effect. Once established, Cordylines are very drought tolerant and can withstand the rigors of a fairly harsh environment. They work well in containers and are useful in dry gardens. They can tolerate coastal conditions if protected from direct sea winds. Culture: For optimum growth water freely and feed monthly while in active growth. (or fertilize annually with a long term slow release fertilizer) Once established they will tolerate dry spells better than most plants. Established plants will tolerate a reasonable amount of frost but the real killers are usually cold wet roots, or a cold damp head. In cold regions it is worth tying the leaves up to the stem so that the crown is protected from the worst of the winter weather. Make sure that the foliage is thoroughly dry before you wrap it up for the winter. Use a forgiving material, such as fleece or raffia to tie plants so the leaves aren’t bruised or cut. You will find that the lower leaves will start to yellow and go brown; this is a natural senescing of the leaves and usually happens around October. They can be left on the plant or cut off close to the main stem with a sharp pair of secateurs or garden shears. Do not tear the leaves off as this can damage the main stem. Historic Maori Culture: “E kore e riro, he ti tamore no rarotonga” – meaning “The Cabbage Tree is never carried away in a gale”. Referring to a person of courage being like a Cordyline which can withstand a gale. In its native New Zealand it is one of the world’s tallest monocotyledon growing as high as 26 feet and reaching an age of several hundred years. ‘Ti kouka’ as the Maori call it, were prized as navigational markers. The very strong fibers in the leaves were used for fishing and are still used in making baskets and other craftwork. For at least the first 800 years of Maori occupation of New Zealand they were a valuable food source. The new shoots of the tree were an important source of protein and eaten as a vegetable. Their high carbohydrate content can be made digestible by cooking. Inner pithy fibres of the trunk can be dried and cooked into porridge, the stems are sweet. Their high carbohydrate content can be made digestible by cooking. Beer or wine is made from decoctions of the roots. The Maori made use of its medicinal properties for healing sores and cuts and as a cure for dysentery and stomach pains. Foliage: Blue-green and shaped like a broad sword. Flower: Small fragrant white flowers in dense panicles to 5.5 feet long. Fruit: Small blue/black berries.
