- New Zealand Native Plant Ti Kouka or Cordyline Australis. The main part that is easily accessible for eating is the young shoots that come from the tufts of the leaves. Eating the young shoots will not kill the tree. The leaves are very strong and can be used for many things such as cordage etc. The dried wood smoulders slowly and works well in the art of carrying fire.
I created this video with the TH-cam Video Editor ( / editor )
So much good information, and I like how you don’t have to worry about missing info because you repeat it and go into depth
Your a top man. Cant wait to watch more videos and teach what i learn to my family and friends. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge.

yeah ive eaten nikau- you have to cook it like potatoes.....it was a while back now but i remember that you could eat it raw but best cooked.....also i fucked up the cooking prosess....tryed to do it like leek and just wasnt enough
Yeah I prefer Nikau palm to Ti-kouka. But am very happy with both when a feed is needed.
"The well-known nīkau palm is not only beautiful, but it also supposedly provides one of the best bush meals in New Zealand. The tender heart or cabbage is a delicacy but sadly removing it will kill the tree and as these special palms take around 20 -200 years to grow it’s highly unethical to remove the heart simply to eat it unless you are facing an absolute dire emergency."
Choice videos! I was wondering if you can eat the berries? When green or white. I've heard a strong maybe on the situation and the person said that the white ripe ones are kinda floury in texture. Would be good to know, cause they get so many berries. I found the centre to be exactly as you described and also a little bit sweet. It's definitely a top plant! There's also a purple type, that is supposedly a rare naturally occurring variation called Cordyline australis 'purpurea'.
I have never tried the berries myself. I would assume they are edible as most of the tree is.
Yeah it seems that's probably the case. Cheers
Your camera work is shocking....it makes me giddy
