Just keep them wet for a week then moist after that. Think of it as a defolation will help with ramification I went away for 4 days with temps into low 40's for 3 out of the four days. Left it to the wife and told her to water twice daily till dripping wet. Because she thinks my hobby is rediculous she said no way ill let them die. Me thinking she was joking and would do the right thing laughed and went on my merry way. Got back from my holiday and went to check on the babies and was shocked. Even the olive leaves had dried up. Thats saying something. She was not kidding anyway mate all is not lost. Soaked all the plants and watered the crap out of them for a week or so. Out of 30 odd only two crappy ones in small pots died. I think the fact that most of them were in nursery pots saved them. Yours seem in large pots so should be good. And yes im still with her must love her.

You MUST love her!!!!!!
My wife thinks im mad too if it makes you feel any better.

Must be a wife thing, mine said there was no way she would water mine as she is scared there could be snakes hiding under the benches and stuff

any update on the chinese elm?

Soak in seasol regularly ask suggested and I would also spray the entire tree (leaves and trunk) with seasol every day till they recover. Keep them in a cool spot. Most if all don't give up on them, trees are tough and it could take them a while to bounce back.

Update is the 3 plants all VERY VERY sick,if not dead. I have taken off all dead growth, cut back twiggy branches, seasoled, pampered and sang to them. Have put them in a quiet corner and will just wait and see if anything happens. So, ive tried but im not hlding my breath. ill take some pics on the weekend.

Unless nobody has mentioned, keep soil damp, not moist or wet.
