Hi Woody. Can you post a close up picture? I take it by 'massive' you mean they have achieved tree status? There are not many diseases that attack large cordylines so if you can't put up a picture all I can suggest is that you tear (don't cut) the lower leaves off completely. It may leave it looking a bit weird for a couple of years but without seeing it, it is difficult to diagnose.

Over watering or over fertilizing produces the symptoms you describe in smaller plants. But if they are massive I for one am a bit baffled.
