To reproduce, grass trees send up their towering green spike which erupts into thousands of tiny cream flowers. These are pollinated by a number of insects, birds and mammals.
Once pollinated the flowers form a tough, pointed seed pod that starts green and dries to black.
Grass trees have a symbiotic relationship with mycorrhiza, a type of fungi, deep within its root system. A symbiotic relationship is one that benefits both species. The fungi increases the grass tree root’s access to water and nutrients in the soil helping to increase tree growth especially in poor conditions. The grass tree in return supplies the fungi with sugars.
