Or Cabbage Tree.Men who fix lawnmowers for a living love these trees.
People who pay to have lawnmowers fixed don't.

- Pollitically Incorrect and friggin' proud of it! I decide who I like and don't like, not some sniviling govamint grey-shoes wearer! I like red meat, black beer and big pistols. Jack of all trades and an author who has actually written and sold a few books-all without any kind of a grant or taxpayer-funded handout! Joined the Army to shoot people and blow shit up- they wouldn't let us, so now I write yarns about that sort of thing.

They're still beautiful :)
They are.
And all you have to do is rake up the leaves before mowing!
Never even heard of a cabbage tree. Are the leaves just too tough for mowers?

Indeed they are!
The cabbage tree is unique to New Zealand.

Hopefully, they don't smell like boiled cabbage.
Magnificent specimens...I wonder how hard it is to transplant a big 'un?
