Cordyline banksii, also known as the forest cabbage tree or tī ngahere, is a monocot tree native to New Zealand. Its name is derived from the 18th-century botanist Joseph Banks. This tree is adaptable to a variety of habitats, including coastal, lowland, and montane forests in the North Island and parts of the South Island. It can also be found in subalpine regions and may hybridize with other species in shrublands. The tree grows up to 4 meters tall and has long, lanceolate leaves with a prominent midrib. Its fruiting panicle can reach up to 2 meters in length and produces white, fragrant flowers and small, globe-shaped fruit. C. banksii is not considered threatened and is resistant to a disease called "sudden decline." It is easy to cultivate from seeds or cuttings and is available in nurseries and garden centers. This tree is hardy in USDA zones 10a and 11 and is useful for steep slopes or poorly drained areas.
