Sorry if this is in the wrong forum but please move it if so!
We have a very tall cordyline in the garden, with one trunk about 18 - 20 ft high. The scent from the flowers has been wonderful this year but it would be great if they were a little lower.
I've heard it's OK to cut the trunk down and new shoots should sprout from the cut or failing that from the base of the plans.
My question is when is the best time to do the dastardly deed? I intend to leave the other slightly shorter trunk alone so if the worst comes to the worst we'll still have some palm left.
Any advice will be gratefully received
