Question
mass can
Hi there!
I live in Houston, TX. We had a harsher than usual winter and two freezes wiped out my tall mass cane plant that lives on my very shady patio. Since we are clear and free of more freezes I went ahead and pruned the tips, but I'm wondering if I did it correctly. How much should have I cut off or if any for that matter. The stalks are alive and green, but the ends were most definitely brown. Can I save this plant?
AnswerHi Richard, it should be fine, mine got hit too here in Southwest Florida, but I just cut back the dead wood until I reached healthy tissue and there is already side shoots popping out along the main trunk; scratch the bark and when you see the Cambium layer showing green, from that point down is healthy tissue.
