Default Cordyline Australis limp at pase due to winds
In article ,
says...

Hi all,

My 4ft-tall Cordyline Australis has toppled over and the base of its trunk
is limp, where it got pushed over in last night's strong winds. Is it now a
'goner' - or can it survive, if I stake it and tie the trunk in an upright
position?

Many thanks

Even if you have to cut off the top to ground level, cordylines
readily shoot again from the roots, usually in a multi trunk... and IME
the new trunks grow far faster than their beheaded parent ever did.

Janet.
