Wilting leaves

Post by eliass »

I have the below root over rock calistomon(I think it is) that has begun wilting, I am watering the plant and have moved to a shaded area, what are you thoughts what can I do ?

Also I removed a couple of small branches and trimmed it a bit 2 days ago could that be the reason if so what would be the best course of action.

pretty hard to tell from the fuzzy picture Eliass, are you sure it didn't dry out, was it hot recently, did you repot recently, it should be alright but :beer: any chance of a better pic.

Thanks guys my issue had less to do with the mrs complaining and more to do with a dog having developed a taste for black pines and cocking his leg up towards everything else. Hahaha
i was going to ask that question, did it happen to this tree Eliass? :?:

Let these pups dry a little when theres a hot sun, root bound? ( Let alone exposed ) and north wind and this will commonly happen. defoliate and put in the shade and nurse. If there is green cambium still it should come back. :tu:
