The most commonly grown species out of the 15 in this genus is Cordyline australis which is also known as New Zealand cabbage palm. Although this tree can grow up to 10 meters or 30ft, it is often never seen this size.

The corky bark of many cordylines has a sugar content comparable to Sugar Beet - the leaves and roots can also put to use in a variety of different ways.

The foliage of most varieties is attractive with streaks of pink, purple or cream against a range of greens.
