Summary

[edit]
Description

Cabbage Tree (Ti Kouka) inflorescence in the late afternoon sun. The Cabbage Tree is one of the largest tree lilies in the world, sometimes growing as high as 20m with trunks up to 2m in diameter.

Maori used it as a valuable source of food, medicine and fibre. Apparently it was named 'cabbage tree' by Captain Cook's crew who cooked and ate the edible parts of the plant (roots, stem and top) to help prevent scurvy.
