Tip of the Orinoco stem frozen
Good monrning,
For my first post on the forum, please accept my salutations from Corsica island, southern France.
Here is my problem :
This winter we had a cold spell and all the leaves of my 2,5 meter orinoco (one stem and a small pup, newly planted) froze.
I removed all the frozen leaves last week.
Today I noticed that the upper ten centimeters of the pseudo stem are grey-brown and obviously dead.
My question is :
1) Do I cut 20 cm of the the upper stem until I see the new leave pushing out ?
2) I don't do anything and only wait ?
The lower part of the stem (2,30 m) is still green.
Of course I will post some pictures as soon as possible.
Thanks for help,
Phil
