CORDYLINE UPDATE AFTER WINTER DAMAGE 🌴🌞 🫣

[@arminius4406]

Just discovered gardening and started on me cordilines, great siimple hints for those who have little knowledge. You sound a north manchester lad😂 cold up here in Whitefield.

Cheers, hopefully this year we have some look and they won't get hit with the cold weather. I live 15 miles south of Manchester Airport. We have been unlucky with 3 really cold snaps over the last few years which has caused serious damage. Good luck on your garden journey 🌴🌞

They seem to have recovered well, you definitely have patience, great work 👍🏻

[@mattsuktropicalgarden]

I certainly do. 1 maybe cus I don't want to spend anymore money cus everything is expensive. 2 I knew they would eventually show some signs of life. 3 because I can't do anything cus of me back. So all I have is time and wait for things to grow. Its not a bad thing patience cus it makes you learn about how plants can actually recover instead of spending money and replacing them 👍

Nice to see most of them recover and hope your recovery is going well mate!

[@mattsuktropicalgarden]

Cheers mate, yeah cordylines are moving along at last, same for me up and about very slowly NOBODY told me about the aftermath of having this OP 😫 but trying me hardest ad everyday is a new challenge at the moment.

I have a green coryline with brown leaves coming from the middle how do I save this? Several leaves still green and stalk is still strong.

Even if they sprout back, the little reject will be destroyed during the winter, I gave up with cordylines. And I can still see the winter damage from my palmtrees but this time I had enough patience to let them a chance ^^

[@mattsuktropicalgarden]

I don't blame you at all. You gave it a try and give up the ghost. If it doesn't work, grow back you have changed your mind a grew something more hardy that will survive. Learning curve I guess. Which palm tress are still damaged from winter, the ones in the ground have finally started recovering. The ones in pots are in the bin.

@@mattsuktropicalgarden the trachycarpus were in bad shape, there are a few ugly palms, kinda brown in the middle. And my chamaerops lost the middle palm but now there are 5 new ones.

[@mattsuktropicalgarden]

Trachycarpus are supposed to be really hardy, mine in the ground have recovered, Chamaerops are in the same boat. Least they are showing signs of life. But as you say can you deal with looking at ugly palms for months on end why they recover. Have you got anything in mind if you are going to replace them?
