Cornish Cabbage Palm

...or as I prefer to call it, Cordyline Australis.  They seem to like our garden and are flying away since we stopped getting the bad winters of 10 years ago.  I'm having a bad moment on two counts, one; I just trimmed a branch off one of them.  It was sprouting in the deep grass and MrsDB has been questioning my eyesight, sanity and parentage.  Secondly I have got the mother of all hay fevers for the second day running.
