cordyline

Of course I maybe should have folded the leaves upward and tied around the middle to prevent wet rot setting in

 

Give it a chance, I only ever tied mine up once and the centre rotted out.

Just hope that the temperature does not go too low, that will do more harm than the snow , which may give some thermal protection on very cold nights.

 

Is there somebody on here with the knowledge to re-size the picture for me?

Thanks in advance

Pete it's been in for 7 years and I have never tied it up but in that time any snowfall has been and gone in 2-3 days so was not too worried, but the present snow has been around for 2-3 weeks and iIdont honestly know if it will damage the plant if left untied or not, have a few cordylines scattered about the place all dripping in snow

 

That looks absolutely lovely with the snow on it, Cornflower. :thumb:

 

The original species Cordyline Australis (which yours appears do be)and C. A Purprea may come through the winter but the modern cultivars may not as the don't have the same hardiness but all the same they may sucker from the base if not rotted through completely.

 

thats lovely - after coold weather they may sucker. My australis and purpurea are in the garage and they stay there all winter so they never get too big. They better not or I wouldnt be able to get them in the garage.
