Hello Avrilly,

If you're talking about the ordinary Torbay Palm, or Cabbage Palm not only will they happily grow back from apparently dead stumps they will also spread their seedlings everywhere!

The flowers may smell heavenly but the seeds will germinate easily over the whole of the garden often mistaken for grass.

Mind you, this has been a great way of passing away the many wet and miserable days- hunting down the plantlets and potting them on in readiness to give them away next summer.

Some of the plants I grew 10 or so years ago are at least 18 feet high now so clearly they like London soil.

Good luck in your mission to rid yourself of the plant- I feel the same way about a Campsis that has taken over part of my garden. Every time I hack it back it appears somewhere else.

It is completely your choice, if you like the look of them, leave them, if not, remove them. Cutting them off will not damage your Cordaline.
