Tortum Male (Leucadendron linifolium) is an indigenous South African variety recognised for its narrow, needle-like foliage and small rounded male cones clustered at the tips. The fresh green colour and textured form create depth and movement, making it ideal for bouquet fillers, straight-line bunches, and large-scale retail floral ranges. Locally grown for export, this product is valued for its ability to provide both structure and natural volume in mixed floral lines.

Quality & Handling

• Harvested under strict post-harvest protocols and cooled rapidly to preserve vivid foliage and cone form.
• Maintained in a continuous cold-chain to ensure quality during export.
• Stems are graded for consistent length, density, and cone distribution across bulk consignments.
• Vase life is approximately 12–16 days with proper care.
• Re-cut stems on arrival, hydrate immediately in fresh water, and refresh every 2–3 days.
• Woody stems benefit from a diagonal cut or light crushing at the base to improve hydration.
