Oh NIgel - sorry to hear your Cordyline is poorly. We bought two of these a couple of years ago, about 12" tall. They're now about 5' tall. They grow so quickly don't they? We also have a Canary Island Palm which has the same symptoms as your Cordy, we believe it got too wet as new fronds were being formed. It looks like a straggly mess now. We're just going to leave it in and hope it makes a recovery. Sorry I can't specifically help with your problem though.
