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(

No Amy, its a British Thing, lost mine to, sigh, I think ill grow Dandylions from now on Mushy lol... Sorry about your Cordy's, I think ill have a rethink this year and grow more hardy tropical "looking" plants, Its Darn too expensive...

Hello all, I have a cordy that I think is about thiry years old and ver large, I have xactly the same problem, but am hoping it will pull through. ( P.S it has a new plant at the bottom so if all else fails).

So we are not alone then Daisy , thats a relief .. I'm sorry you have lost yours as well , it will be intersting to see whose survives this trauma ...Jrc I had a small one growing at the bottom but that has turned black

I have 3 Cordylines in the back garden ... at the moment they're all looking healthy ... so sorry to keep reading of all the poorly ones up and down the country. : o ((

I'm pleased yours are healthy Shirley perhaps it depends on how sheltered they are in the garden :o)

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.
