Is this Cordyline Australis dead? can it be saved?


If dead, i will get a new one, any advice appreciated on where to buy one online, that's a decent height to start with....


As it's planted in a corner (1 on the pic) that doesnt get much light, it's not as high as the one on the other end (2 on the pic).. so i THINK that's why it is how it is... so unsure if this will continue to happen even if i get a new one...

I'd like a climber in the corner and am sort of considering Queen of the night.

I have never grown it so would be grateful to see photos of yours, experiences, and recommendations for a suitable robust succulent/ cactus climber/ trailer that can be trained upwards.

We've got a couple of Magpies pulling out strands from our trees. See photos for damage.

Is this harmful for the tree?
What can i do (if anything) to stop this happening? I did think i could cut a box and place it round the base, but that's not a good long term solution!

I Hope you are Well.

I have Two Lavender Plants in the Back Garden and One in the Front Garden, all are looking straggly as I was not able to Trim them Last Year.

When would be the Best Time to Trim them, they both still have the Flower Stalks from Last Year.

Also, I have a Santolina, in the Back Garden, in a similar situation, when would be the Best Time to Trim that?

All Three Plants are showing New Growth lower down.

Thanks in advance

I Hope you are Well.

When I had the Patio, Paving and Setts re-laid, due to Poor Work by the previous Landscapers, the Levels were adjusted.

Due to this the Borders in the Lower part of the Garden were lower than previously.

This has meant that the Soil Levels in some Borders were Higher than the Paving.

Last Year, I dug up some Plants, adjusted the Soil Level and then Re-Planted them.

However, I have Two Clumps of, I believe, Iris Ensata although they could be Sibirica,...

- hardy
- one needs to have winter interest
- suitable for a windy(ish) site
- low maintenance
- drought resistant
- not too unruly so would need to withstand hard pruning and not get too big in the first place (up to a metre tall)

Ideally I would...

I've been watching a few videos on YouTube regarding Orchids and I noticed that they use ordinary plant pots with drainage holes, rather than transparent pots. Years ago, I changed all mine to transparent pots because I read that the roots will benefit from the light but now I'm wondering whether that was necessary.

My Fatsia's have some Leaves that are Brown, or Damaged, probably from Frost.

When would be the Best Time to Remove them?

Also, what is the recommended way to Remove the Leaf Stem from the Main Branch, Cut or Pull Off?
