  1. grass tree

    A grass tree, scientifically termed Xanthorrhoea, is a genus of flowering plants native to Australia. Also known as kangaroo tail or black boy, it is characterized by a long, thin trunk with a bushy crown of grass-like leaves at the top, and a distinct spike-like flower stem that can grow from the center of the plant. The tree is slow-growing and can survive in poor, sandy soils. Evidence shows that grass trees have adapted to and can withstand regular bushfires. They are known for their ability to survive harsh climates and their long lifespan – some are believed to be up to 600 years old.
