Cordyline Australis Wobbly

[scottpetrie]

Hi, after recent winds I have noticed my Cordyline Australia is pretty wobbly if I move it by the trunk. It is only about 4ft tall and been in the ground for over a year. This happened last year so I just pushed it up right and compacted more soil around it. Since then it has grown a foot and basically grown a new crown.
Any ideas if this is normal or do I need to stake it for a while so it grows straight?
Thanks

Stake it and see how it is in a year.

No matter how old or strong they are they seem to be susceptible to high wind especially if there is a lot of heavy rain at the same time. i would either stake it or provide some shelter from the wind or relocate it while you can.
