There are various species which are usually associated with the dragon 

 tree, one of the most common being Cordyline australis, known as "cabbage 

 tree" to the residents of New Zealand. This plant is hardy in southern Cali- 

 fornia and does exceptionally well near the coast. In the interior valleys the 

 trunk suffers from sunburn and is then attacked by borers.
