To prune the trunks of a cordyline palm, first ensure you have clean, sharp pruning shears or a saw. Remove any dead or damaged leaves at the base of the trunk to improve the plant's appearance and health. Avoid cutting into the trunk itself, as this can cause damage; instead, focus on removing lower leaves and any flower spikes if they appear. Always prune during the growing season to minimize stress on the plant.
