Growing tī ngahere

The New Zealand Plant Conservation Network finds it in coastal, lowland and lower montane forest, sometimes higher in the South Island, and calls it tolerant of a wide range of situations and easily grown. It is raised from fresh seed and from stem, shoot and trunk cuttings. The Network adds that in New Zealand it does not seem as susceptible to sudden decline as Cordyline australis.

Form. The Network tells it from the other New Zealand cordylines by its several stems, its drooping, pale yellow-green leaves with a prominent midrib, and the very long channelled stalk each leaf narrows into.

No Australian reference read gives a climate range, a frost figure or a drought rating for the species, and the Atlas of Living Australia's records read hold it from New Zealand only.

Using tī ngahere

The New Zealand Plant Conservation Network says it is cultivated less often than Cordyline australis but still widely offered, a purple-leaved form above all, and suggests it for steep, poorly drained slopes and for planting among smaller shrubs. Its sweetly perfumed white flowers come from late spring into summer in New Zealand, and its fleshy berries are spread by the animals that eat them. Growers list two coloured-leaf selections of it, Electric Pink and Electric Star, each with its own page.
