I wrote to you last April asking how to save my 30 yr old Cordyline in which I really thought had died from our harsh winter, I cut all the side branches and the top off, and just left it standing at 12ft tall. This week I've noticed 4 new shoots appearing around the base of the trunk, do I need to feed it now or do i just leave it.

We have two 30 yr old Cordylines (palm Trees) in our front garden (north facing). One is sheltered but the other one has taken the brunt of our bad winter, it has lost all leaves, and all side branches seems to be dead. A weird looking orange/pink sap oozed out from the bottom of main trunk, from about 4 foot from the base, but this has now stopped. Can this huge tree be saved, or do we cut it down.... (I really hope not).
