Cordyline roots?
I have a 4 year old Cordyline now exceeding 12 feet in height. What -
at the moment - is the likely root spread? Another one is three yrs old and now exceeds six feet. What is its likely root spread? I ask because I have concerns over possible drain damage. Thank you Jon |

It was mostly a mass of fine roots with the tap root going down as a continuation of the trunk. Not at all like a normal tree. mark |

Cordyline roots?
sorry to come in here mark,
missed the original thread. they don't need much root at all, we dug one out just over 2 meters tall and many trunked had so little root it could almost have fitted into a 2 gallon pot you should see it now neer looked back.

Mine seem to go straight down with only small fibrous roots radiating out from the trunk. -- Regards Bob Hobden just W. of London |
