Cordyline winter ready.

[Las Palmas Norte]

We're expected to get our first winter weather over the next several or so days. As a precaution I've bundled the Cordyline leaves with temps at some point expected to bottom out in the low 20'sF / -6°C.

27°F (-3°C) overnight, so not too bad really.  I think these Cordyine are good to about 18°F before damage occurs.

I just passed these exceptionally lusty Cordyline spp. (australis?). They look so great compared to the anemic specimens that I usually see around.

If you care to notice, there are some with slightly wider leaves and some rather narrow in comparison. Just a slight variation in the australis species.

On the west side of Vancouver Island these grow to much larger proportions with the generally milder winters there.
