Xanthorrhoea australis
Grass Tree

A grass tree (genus Xanthorrhoea) is a unique and iconic Australian plant known for its grass-like leaves and distinctive, often blackened trunk. Despite the name, it is not a true tree but a slow-growing, perennial plant. Grass trees can live for hundreds of years and are adapted to survive bushfires, which actually stimulate flowering. The tall flower spike can grow several meters high and is rich in nectar, attracting birds and insects. These plants are an important part of Australian ecosystems and have traditional uses by Indigenous Australians for food, tools, and resin.
