Frost Attacked Cordyline
By jeanpatricia

As other members, my 6ft Cordyline australis suffered very badly from frost this last winter. It has three branches at the top and all the leaves on each top has died. I have just noticed many small shoots sprouting lower down the trunk. What should I do? Should I just leave the tree for nature to take its own course, should I saw off the top branches or lower down above the new shoots. Can any one help please?

Saw everything down to just above the new shoots. You will find answers to similar queries on the Cordylines page on GOYpedia. :-)

Hi David, many thanks for your entries on Cordylines. It has give me confidence to deal with the situation. Also thank you for adding the Cordyline page. It is my first time for having to deal with this sort of gardening problem, being a tree. Also first time on 'blogging', it is a very useful way of solving solutions and helping others.
Thank you once again for your help David.
