Xanthorrhoea in habitat

An extremely tough plant capable of surviving some very harsh conditions, drought, fire and unbearable heat in summer.

Growing around 1cm a year so a tall specimen is of a great age.

There is a hidden beauty growing in the environment if you look closely, but at a first glance you just see a harsh environment that’s unforgiving to the weak. Yet in that diversity is a wonderful symbiotic relationship going on with the plants and animals, this is what makes the Australian bush so wonderful!
