Help!! Accident!

[Tulsabonsigh]

This little guy is an ever bearing mulberry. He blew over and fell behind a wall. He’s still green in spots.
do I de leaf and trim or just soak and pray?

I'd get a new one!

Speaking of her a new one, I hate that faucet, does your "shower" setting only work at high pressure too? I gotta hold mine in to shower slow when I water my windowsill plants. Bloody annoying!

I do like how it moves though, but if I pull mine out too far, it kinks on the heater below and stops running! Yeah heater below, kinda dumb eh? 100yearold design. The first water in winter is always hot AF!

Stoopid!

Have I gotten your mind off that tree?

Sorce

 

[Tulsabonsigh]

Yes! Shower only on high presssure is dumbest thing ever

I would put it back and wait If it is still green. It might bounce back. It might die. For me a calamity is just aNother way to add character to a young tree and nice little story if it survives. Good luck

Lots of trees are very resilient. Most will sacrifice leaves under stress but conserve life in the trunk in the hope that better conditions will be coming soon.
Set it back o n the bench and wait for new growth in a few weeks.
Removing the leaves is not necessary. They will all fall soon anyway but removing them will not hurt the tree and will probably look better. That is entirely up to you.

This may be a record for a tree completely healing and sprouting all new leaves. Less than a week and it was completely back, very little evidence of any trauma!

Mulberries are tough trees, glad yours made that recovery

It’s very tiny but I think I’m going to wire it soon. It will be my first wiring, I’m a little anxious.

It’s very tiny but I think I’m going to wire it soon. It will be my first wiring, I’m a little anxious.

If it can handle falling off a bench with such a resurgence of growth, I've got a feeling that some wire won't really bother the tree

Just dont over water it now and go the other way! Lol.

If you are interested in the hobby, get some more trees, practice and do whatever you like and enjoy on this one, but can only do so much work before you have to let it breath.
Buy more trees
