Arr, you still might not be safe, fleaseyelash, the Aussie grass tree, Xanthorhea sp., can take a year or two to die. If it's still alive in 2 years - and they can live hundreds - consider it's survived.

Well that is good news. I like to hear about Aussies doing well overseas !

What is the soil like that you have your grass tree in ?

Have you seen the flower yet ? That is just beautiful.

I have been to a native forest north of Sydney where there is a forest of Xanthorreahs (grass trees), with Sydney Red Gums, and Macrozamias. Just spectacular ! When the grass trees are flowering it is the most glorious place.

All the best with your grass tree and thanks for letting us know.
