I admit, I do love Grass Trees. I am fascinated by the shape of their foliage and their whole appearance. Saw this ‘little family’ on a drive on the new Indian Ocean Drive road just north of Perth.
Grass Trees (Xanthorrhoea) grow in Australia only. The striking, very slow growing plant has a lifespan of 600 years and it takes decades to grow to this height.
superb I just love grass trees…,I too was there, or maybe the ones I saw were further up the road…. just a couple/four ? of weeks ago and went ’mad ’taking photos! I think it was just after the bad storm in Perth and we went through it as it came up the coast.
Thanks Virginia! Well, there is literally thousands of them along this road. :-) Just amazing…
