Dragon trees, or dracaena draco to give them their scientific name, are one of our more popular lines of feature plants here at Green Results.  These specimens are also sometimes known as the Dragon Blood Trees.

Dracaena draco make striking additions to any landscape project, whether it is a large garden, a public park or a residential or commercial development.  Their long green leaves form a thick umbrella like canopy as the tree grows and matures, and when in flower, which is less than once per year, orange berries are produced.

Dragon Trees were introduced to Australia in the colonial days when they were grown from dragon seed.  The team at Green has been growing dragon trees for many years, propagated from cuttings, and we can supply both young dracaena draco, which are characterized by their single trunk, and advanced specimens with multiple trunks.

We can supply dracaena in pots or ex-ground.  We work with experienced and established plant freighters to ship them across Australia to ensure they arrive safely, on time and in perfect health.

Dracaena draco prefer locations with good drainage, and a sunny aspect.  They are low maintenance and hardy, and can live well over 400 years, with the oldest dragon in it’s native Canary Islands being around 600 years in age.

If you’re a landscape designer or project manager in charge of landscaping and would like to know more about using Dragon Trees for your next landscaping project, please contact us at Green Results.
