The most hardy cordyline fruticosa??? 14 Years, 6 Months ago
|
|
|
Hello
I am an ex Queenslander now living in Victoria, while living in QLD i was a collector or rare palms and other tropical plants, as well as working in the horticultral industry.
I am now planning on building a large hothouse of the side of my house here in coastal Victoria to grow some of the more hardy tropicals.
I have suprisingly seen the older C.fruticosa sp Rubra growing suprisingly well (apart from wind damage)
Glauca grows very easy here.
C. Nigra does ok in the right spot.
And the narrow leafed native variety grows like a weed.
I plan on trying some more C. fruticosa types in ground in a hot house, could people please recommend the best ones to try. Thankyou.

When in QLD i noticed, various types grew faster and seemed stronger top grow.
These are the ones I am thinking of giving a go.
-Angusta
-Aussie gold
-Cameroon
-Compacta
-Hilo rainbow
-Katherine
-Miss Andrea
-Moonlight
-Negra
-Pink diamond
-Rooster tail
-Schubertii
-Willis gold
Are there any there that would be no good???
Or any people could add trying?
Cheers

I have heard from people growing any Cordylines in Melbourne if they have the right conditions. If you are going to build a hothouse I don't think you are going to have any problems as long as you keep it warm and the humidity high. I heard from a lady who had cordylines growing under her patio very sucessfully. She had a tropical type garden all around her that was creating the right enviroment they needed and has been growing her cordylines for a number of years now.
The Cordylines you have mentioned in the list are probably some of the more 'tuff ones' I'm not so sure with Miss Andrea but them you never know till you try. I would steer clear of purples and oranges (except Schubertii) and give anything else a go. If you're having sucess with everything you could possibly try purples and oranges if you wish.
Good luck and we'd love to know how you go. If all else fails.... just move back to QLD!! Lol.
