Back from the dead?

Post by shibui »

The sudden heat plays havock with the smaller pots. I discovered this English elm when all the leaves were brown and crisp but having seen trees come back before I just gave it a good soaking and stripped all the burnt leaves off. In less than a week it has responded.

I wouldn't advise this as a routine training technique but it does show that some trees will come back from near disaster.

Glad to hear your potential disaster was averted Shibui!
It goes to show that you can't let your guard down when it comes to watering.
