Robinson Crusoe Cabbage Tree. (Dendroseris litoralis)

From the Juan Fernandez island this unique plant comes from. Wild looking flowers one day will come I hope.

It looks very similar to a houseplant sold in the U.K., but the name of it escapes me!

Stan, I had to look up the Tree Tomato (Tamarillo) as not heard of it before. I can see why you thought that ... :o)

It looks like a young Alocasia.

You’ll have to post a pic when it flowers.
