Dying Corn Tree: Insufficient Light, Dead Cane—Prune and Root Top

Diagnosis

• Blinds always closed = fatal light deficiency. Must open blinds daily.
• Peeling bark = dead cane. Will not regrow.

Salvage Plan

1. Cut off healthy top portion at any point.
2. Strip lower leaves.
3. Root in water or damp soil.
4. Give good light, small pot—may grow 1 ft by spring.
