Paperback. Condition: Good. 66 pages. Cover slightly worn In Torbay ti kouka, photographer Wayne Barrar looks at how the New Zealand cabba ge tree has been relocated, hybridised and utilised to redefine a new domestic l andscape: the South West of England. Defying the normal direction of ecological colonialism, the cabbage tree was introduced to Britain as an exotic specimen pl ant in the nineteenth century. Its tropical appearance and temperate hardiness m ade it a natural fit for the South West into the twentieth century, particularly as the Torbay area positioned itself as a UK tourist destination - the 'English Riviera'. The cabbage tree (ti kouka, Cordyline australis) now appears extensiv ely through the South West. It is so closely identified with the area that, as t he 'Torbay palm', it is one of the area's key promotional symbols, and it is oft en presumed to be a native English plant.
