In March 2022 I posted about planting cabbage trees by the gate. Here's how they looked then:

And here's how they look today, some 2 years later. I'm very pleased with their growth. The tips of the leaves on the tallest are just above my head.

@Miraz is that a type of cactus?

@ronkjeffries No, it's a Cordyline australis. Cabbage tree/ti kouka: Native plants

@sim0ne I seem to have found a good spot for them. I have others elsewhere on the property that haven't grown that well.

@cheribaker So they do! 😁
