This Cordyline Australis is looking a bit rough after a cold winter, some frost damage, dead leaves, slightly brown leaves hanging down, scorched leaf tips, old dead bunches of flowers, and yellow / Orange leaf spot (Rust) ....
Apart from all that it is a healthy tree! and in this video Roger quickly transforms it back to its former glory. Cutting off all the dead flowers and dead or damaged leaves quickly exposes the healthy looking trunk and lots for fresher healthy looking leaves.
Now all the plants energy can be concentrated of producing healthy new growth - take a look at the end of the video and see what you think of the end result!
In the pruning process, whcih is shown with some close up filming we discover lots of wildlife living in the tree along the trunks and at leaf base of the leaves - woodlice, slugs, snails, and even worms (how did they get up there?!)
If you have any questions, or experiences, re growing Cordylines or other tropical looking plants and Palms - please let us know via the comments section beneath this video.
NB - Here in the UK Cordlines are usually referred to as Palm trees (such as Cordyline Palm, Cabbage Palm, Torbay Palm) ... in reality it is not actually botanically classified as a Palm tree - as some of our YouTube friends remind us, Thank you! we appreciate you are correct, but it is just how they are referred to in the UK ... and you know us Brits, we think we are right and that everyone else should agree with us!
