Cordyline types.

Post by karl66 »

What are others views regarding single or multi stem versions?. I suppose from a protecting point of view a single trunk is easier , plus i know they can branch off & singles are cheaper than multiheads. Some maintain they can be planted all year round when bought mature. My one concern is Dave brown lost a big one even in his part of the world. I suppose one bonus is even in a severs winter most cordys come back for more :lol: . karl.

Buy small plants cheaply and watch them grow. They usually branch after flowering.

I've found c. australis copes well with excess moisture, as long as the drainage is good
