Nitrogen deficiency. Nitrogen deficiency is a deficiency of nitrogen in plants. This can occur when organic matter with high carbon content, such as sawdust, is added to soil. [ 1] Soil organisms use any nitrogen available to break down carbon sources, making nitrogen unavailable to plants. [ 1] This is known as "robbing" the soil of nitrogen.
Cordyline australis, commonly known as the cabbage tree, [3] or by its Māori name of tī or tī kōuka, is a widely branched monocot tree endemic to New Zealand.. It grows up to 20 metres (66 feet) tall [4] with a stout trunk and sword-like leaves, which are clustered at the tips of the branches and can be up to 1 metre (3 feet 3 inches) long.
The leaves of most species have serrated edges, but a few, such as B. integrifolia, do not. Leaves are usually arranged along the branches in irregular spirals, but in some species they are crowded together in whorls. Many species have differing juvenile and adult leaves (e.g., Banksia integrifolia has large serrated juvenile leaves).
