Cussonia paniculata subsp. sinuata – The Mountain Cabbage Tree
Sculptural Form | Rare Succulent Tree | Drought-Tolerant Elegance
Bring dramatic architecture and wild elegance to your landscape with Cussonia paniculata subsp. sinuata, a striking succulent tree from South Africa’s rugged mountains. Known as the Mountain Cabbage Tree, this rare specimen blends sculptural form with exceptional drought tolerance, making it a bold focal point for dry gardens, rockeries, and xeriscapes.
At its core is a thick, gnarled trunk—often forming a swollen, caudex-like base—that evokes the feel of ancient, windswept landscapes. From this rugged base emerges a canopy of deeply lobed, blue-green leaves that spiral gracefully from the branch tips, offering a soft, ethereal contrast to the tree’s rough textures.
Why It Stands Out:
A Living Sculpture: Gnarled trunk and swollen base provide a uniquely artistic presence
Striking Foliage: Blue-green, deeply lobed leaves offer soft color and strong contrast
Drought Resilience: Thrives in arid climates with minimal watering
Low-Maintenance Appeal: Ideal for xeriscaping, collectors, and water-wise landscapes
Rare and Eye-Catching: A centerpiece plant that always draws attention and admiration
Care Guide:
- Sunlight: Full sun to light shade
- Watering: Moderate during active growth; let soil dry out between waterings
- Soil: Fast-draining mix (cactus/succulent soil recommended)
- Growth: Can be grown in-ground in dry zones or as a container specimen
Transform your garden into a gallery of natural sculpture with Cussonia paniculata subsp. sinuata—a truly one-of-a-kind tree that combines resilience, rarity, and timeless beauty.
The succulent plant housed in the red pot comes in a 130mm diameter container. While the image provides a representative depiction of what you will receive, but may vary slightly because no two succulents are the same.
