well I am with the wife on this one as I don't particularly like the look of fleeced plants. Also the dry air circulating the cordyline will help reduce any fungal or bacterial infections.

which cordyline is it?

This is the RHS advice link below

They don't say to fleece but to tie the fronds up.

I also agree, only need to fleece in worst weather. Ventilation is important.

Thanks folks, that's another reason for the wife to say 'I told you so'.

I also agree ... just tie the leaves together, forming an upright bunch to keep out the wet.

Whoops, we crossed!

Happy New Year everybody. No, I'm not going there. You work it out, lol!

Looks as though the husband will have to give way on this one!

Damn, she's right again. LOL

Cheer up Treetop, shows you married a good woman...
