Guys I need help I’m confused on the root color for the flame tree I might’ve killed mine

[MSTghost]

So I recently noticed my flame trees roots were black so I thought they were rotten so I removed them all but I saw in a YouTube video that they have black roots and I think I might’ve killed it someone please help me.

Get that thing in a cutting propagation environment fast is what I'd say. Keep that moisture from escaping. Think japanese maple cuttings. Reasoning being that it will be able to regain some root structure without losing the moisture from the leaves. A pic of the whole tree might help with determining how many roots it needs to survive. Cheers

It has no leaves right now it was in the process of creating 5-6 branches of leaves but it was just at the very beginning I will send a picture later
