8 The Cordyline Avenue

Old photographs of Morrab Gardens often feature the avenue of Cordylines that led from the lower entrance gate. Sadly most of these have been lost over the years though a few individuals remain. Recent replanting means we shall be able to re-create this famous view.

Screening along the boundary of the garden here is provided by an upright form of Field Maple, Copper Beech and a Horse Chestnut which bears vivid red leaves. The other side of the path is lined with mixed planting including a yellow-berried holly, an Acer ‘Kelly’s Gold’, Butia plams and Trachycarpus (fan palms).
