I would rip them out. If they do come back, it will take a reaaaaally long time. I'm not a cordyline expert, but these can also be purchased pretty cheaply. They look dead to me but maybe they're not.

From what I can glean, these should survive exposure to the low 20'sF.  It's possible new growth may emerge from the base rather than the tips.  Patience will be required.  So if you have time, wait; if you have money, rip out and replant.

I agree with Kim; they should re-sprout just fine.  It's just a matter of how long you're willing to wait for a full head of leaves.

Paul,

   Kim's pretty much right, unless it's a collector variety of Ti that would be hard to replace, rip it out.I can't agree that these take into the low 20's(?). And survive? I seriously doubt it, but they reasonably cheap to replace.

thanks for the input.they are relatively cheap at times,

but i haven't been able to find any at the home despots

in san diego recently.i don't get as attached to these

as i do to palms so no guilt with ripping 'em out if they're

gonna take a long time to come back.
