Incidentally the word Dracaena gets used for cordylines and it is incorrect but widely used. "This tree was formerly called 'dracaena' - whence 'Dracaena Avenue' in Falmouth in Cornwall" http://www.habitas.org.uk/gardenflora/cordyline1.htm Having said all that the taxonomy of these things seems a bit confusing. Every time I see a Cordyline it looks slightly different to the last one I saw,broader leaf, different rib colour or shade etc. I think there has been a massive promiscuous going on at some stage:-) The Torbay Palm or cabbage palm has a clear trunk as far as I know. I don't think they ever have leaves going all the way to the ground. David Poole will know better than I but I don't recall seeing them like this one. Just one other thought, though almost certainly wrong. Could it be a Cordyline indivisa? -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon http://www.discoverdartmoor.co.uk/ |
