I re-planted my Cordyline Australis last year but over the winter the tips of the leaves have all gone brown and it looks as though it is dying - I don't want to lose it as it has been with us for a number of years. Has anyone any advice please.

Not much you can do except keep it watered in dry spells and perhaps a feed now with something like Growmore raked in round the base. If its putting out new growth at the very top, it'll be fine, but you can remove any leaves which die right back.

Thanks Noseypotter - I think we will give it a good feed and go on watering it and, in view of your experience, it may live - thanks again.
