    Hi, yes Cordylines have had a bad time this winter, lots of dead ones around due to the freeze in December.
    You can leave it a bit longer to see if it makes new shoots from the base, but it could be a while before it becomes ornamental again, if at all.

      Unfortunately I've lost 3 about the same size plus 2 much bigger ones. As pete says there is a good chance they will throw out a new shoot from the roots. I'm waiting till mid summer before deciding to cut it down.
