That's some serious trauma that it copped, did you find out what caused it?

 

But yeah, I'd be cutting the damaged section right out. I see you mentioned you already did, but if that's what's left afterwards I'd still be trying cut more out (if possible) and try and source where the problem originated from.

 

Lookin' good otherwise.

in the last pic there's quite a chunk of plant that is of different color , bottom right 

is that the one branch or a few 

 

follow the stem to it's base looking for anything not meant to be there 

 

dig round the top soil at the base of the plant , what bugs you see 

you need to identify the pest or pathogen to know what's next  

 

if you have some neem meal , worm castings & kelp , top dress them 

water them in with aloe vera , fulvic & silica  

all this is pest prevention & plant health rolled into one 

 

without knowing the cause , the above possibly won't solve the prob 

but will go along way in supporting the plants immune health 

possibly inhibiting the transfer from one plant to the other 

 

what are the curly grubs  what do they feed on , whats there life span

Nah, I'd try and retain what's possible by cutting it back to the last undamaged part, but if it's right back to the main stem I'd view the damage and cut back as much as possible.

 

Reason being the plant might try and put a lot of it's energy to repairing the damage instead of bud production.

White curl grubs are the larvae of an African black beetle or cockchafers or scarab beetle or Christmas beetle.

They commonly attack the lawns and feeds on roots of grass or dead plant material in the garden. The damage

done by these larvae is more during hot, dry periods in summer around Christmas in Australia.

Im thinkin rhino or chrismas beetle larvae......

Vigorous checking makes me believe its not that for this issue but i could be wrong..the plant i pulled was showing signs of stunted growth and pale leaves witch is why i investigated and found the buggers
