This is a 25 yr old Procumbens that ...may... be ceasing to function.
I took out some brittle and dried out tiny branches that were graying and just not looking vigorous.
I assume that late August shouldn't be producing new growth but I'm a bit worried that it's getting dry tips.
Previously whenever I did an occasional submersion watering, the water would creep up the bark like a wick.
As you can see there isn't any wicking now. This was not a submersion but being put in a tub and water raised to the rim of the pot but not over any soil.
Does this look to be of any worrisome nature?
I don't want to re or up-pot but am wondering if it would be advisable to help the tree.
It hasn't been repotted for 2 years. The present soil dries out ....somewhat.... but not like it had been up to about the beginning of this summer.
I'm also somewhat concerned that those long down-trending branches could be in trouble. ???
The last pic shows fairly good (but not new) tips.
Any suggestions or comments?
Thanks.
