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 RUclips 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!
If you take the dead fronds fold them over a couple of times and use one end to loop around the middle and tie the lot together. Makes great kindling for fires. The dead fronds can also be used to weave as an alternative to willow etc.
Thanks that's really interesting, I must give it a try
Fab transformation 😊
Thanks Mr Michelo!
With green ones rub then togther makes a natural plaster for cuts etc
Well there's a thing I didn't know .. and would never have guessed - thanks for your comment .. where in the world are you living?
I'm from new zealand
Ah - Gods own country! and the Cordylines are native to your beautiful land - we loved visiting NZ 20 years ago ... and would love to go back!
I have large side shoots growing from the base of my cordyline. Can I cut them off without even more growing?
Yes, I think you can … you may get more appearing in years to come but is your plant and you get to choose how many shoots you allow to grow 👍
Can you make a video of the soil you using?
Hi thanks for your comment, just checking as we weren’t using any soil in this video was your comment meant for another one of our videos … maybe one where we growing pots … sorry just want to do my best to understand and answer your question ..
Thanks, hope to hear from you soon
Roger
@rogthegardener1 yes! Is there a video where I can find the advice on soil for the cordyline plants?
@@A.nasierkhan I don’t think I have really covered any soil tips in my Cordyline videos … so I need to do a video about that … would that help? Are you growing Cordylines in pots outside or in the garden soil?
Also can I ask where you are living …are you in the uk?
@@rogthegardener1 yes that would be nice to inform the viewers about the way you make your soil and what kind if soil you use. Well i live in the The Netherlands the weather is complete different.
@@A.nasierkhan I think you can get colder temperatures, but thanks for the information … I am trying to recall if I have seen large cordylines growing outside on my trips to the Netherlands … you have some great gardens there!
Hi if you pick the seeds off do you plant them strait away or dry them. X
Hi, the trick is to leave the berries on the tree until they fully ripen and they turn white - here in south Wales I find we get best results by picking them around midwinter (nice boxing day job!) we have done a couple of videos about picking and sowing the seeds here's one ruclips.net/video/5WWfI72U8K8/видео.html
and this 2nd one shows the germination results in spring ruclips.net/video/YKb5CKkaaoE/видео.html
Hope this helps?
Hi how did there red corderyline seedlings you had go on,did they survive.i planted seeds off mine about two weeks ago as you recommended.no signs of anything growing yet.i put them in my conservatory with a piece of glass on top for a bit extra warmth,as it gets freezing her in east Lancashire xxxx
Hiya - those red-ish seedlings were actually green, they just had a hint of bronze to them leaves when they first started growing and then reverted to green - all doing well!
Well done - conservatory should be fine as you describe but get ready to remove the piece of glass when they start germinating as thye could get scorched - I wouldn't expect to see seedlings until late march / April ... I look forward to hearing some good news in spring!
Thanks.the daughter in-law wanted one for her garden. Getting expensive to buy now.if I can grow a few a bonus and pass them on to family xxx
@@rogthegardener1 i will let you know how they go on.thanks for the tips and help xx
Hi Roger I have a cordyline palm I recently notice new shoots growing from the base of my tree and up the stem.. Can I remove these without the tree damaging? Thanks in advance, James
Yes you can ... I assume the growth at the top of the trunk is healthy (and I also guess you don't want too many stems?)
