My huge green cordyline 12' high became sickly 5 yrs ago as did a lot in this area. OH cut it back to base, when I wasn't supervising.
Many locally recoverd and grew from lower parts of trunks as it was the top foliage that died off. At time we thought disease / very bad winter.
Happy to report it has grown again from virtually nothing and is now 2' high.
Maybe yours has reverted to bog standard root stock and survived.
I had a variagated Yucca that also seemed to have died and now years later has thrown up a few shoots which I have potted on and are now growing well.
Hope you like the basic one, it seems determind to survive
