Our Cordyline palm trees need cutting back (actually strictly speaking they are not true palm trees but are much loved in the UK, and used as palm trees for their exotic tropical appearance and also known as #Torbay Palms #cabbage Palms)
So in this video we see Roger about 10 feet up on some ladders! cutting back some of the thick branches of this multi-stemmed Cordyline which must be about 20 years old and has got so tall that it is blocking some of view of the welsh mountains.
Rather than cutting all the branches back we cut some of them this year and will probably cut some more next year, by which time we should see some new growth and strong new shoots starting to fill some of the space we created by trimming branches this year ... if that makes sense?! .. if it doesn't make sense try watching the video and everything should become clearer! (if you have any questions and comments please please leave a comment in the YouTube comments section underneath the video - thanks)
Here is a link to the fertilizer I like to use in spring which has a high potash content will encourage strong (not too soft) bushy new growth
