United Kingdom 
I have a 6 year old green Cordyline Australis and its now about 8 feet tall. It has grown nice but I would like it to branch out like many others I have seen in neighbours gardens. I was told by my grandad (who owns his own garden centre) that they will only branch out once they flower. Is there any way I can get mine to do this and branch out or is it just a natural thing that occurs?

its sometimes because the centre growing bud gets damaged or frozen but i wouldnt recomend it as you mite kill it.give it a chance it mite just do it after flowering.

I don't know if it's different for red cordylines, but mine started branching out last year about halfway up the trunk and it's never flowered.
