Cordyline - will it ever recover

[Jellibob]

The central spikes of my poor Cordyline have turned brown. It's about 5 foot tall, and been in the border for about 4 years. Turned brown after all the snow. Is this the end?

Mine has gone exactly the same, the snow has killed it I think! The middle of mine has gone a bit mushy so not holding much hope of it recovering.

:(

This happened to one of ours last year. It went all mushy. DH cut it right back and left it and in the late spring it sprouted lots of little babies around the edge.

So maybe cut back and leave?

It's a goner

I like the sound of cutting it right back and getting babies (very broody and not going to have any more human babies, so Cordyline babies would be perfect!)

Ours appeared to die off last year - DH cut it back and lots of little ones sprouted but they have all been killed in this years frost.
