Cordyline 2


Cordyline 2

I think it may not have survived

If its only comming off that branch hanging down, Ive been told you can take cuttings from these with a sharp thing to slice the bits growing from the side, so don't know if it will work if you just cut that one branch off so it does nt kill the rest but don't take my word for it just thought it might strenthen the rest of it.

The rest of it looks alright Mushy , if you take off those hanging bits I would be surprised if it didn't send out some new shoots , I cut a new shoot off the bottom of mine the other year and potted it up but it didn't survive ... that might have been my fault as I stuck it behind the shed and forgot about it !

I've never seen anything like this before. Although, I would think if you cut the damaged tip off this branch...many more shoots may grow...as the rest of the tree looks good.

Hope the weather warms up for you soon!

Hopefully i may get new ones its just this and the 1 in the middle (called malcom thats another story ) were the first c2 trees we put in the garden 10 years ago now so, it'll be sad if it goes

There's another branch that you can't see from photo thats also shedding leafs .
But hopefully it'll be ok .
As for the weather its been mild lately but that's about to change as a cold blast from Siberia that we normally get at this time of year is on its way:o(

Mushy I have to tell you that my Cordyline has done exactly the same thing , it's about the same size as yours , in fact one off shoot branch is devoid of anything it looks awful ... Is it a Norfolk thing :o(
