Growing
Little care is needed for these. Provide them with full sun, a well-drained soil and once a year tidy the brown spent grassy spikes off the trunk, unless you wish to have that “skirt” effect.
Grass trees are drought resistant and salt tolerant.
Propagation is from seed, but the downside to this is that these plants may need some 20 years to develop stems and more than 100 years to flower .....!
It is an offence to take them from their natural habitat, and they do not take well to transplanting.
Luckily most nurseries now have some in various sizes for you to select from. They should be planted while very young.
