Is my tree dead?

[Grant Bartlow]

I bought this tree from the pittsburg nursery and planted it outside "in a pot" for a while and the needles started to fade so i took it inside because of the heavy rain we have been getting, my concern is it already dead

I don't think it has roots!
They just glued a branch in a pot!
It happens !

 

[Grant Bartlow]

should i even consider re potting it?

Does that pot have drain holes?

 

[Grant Bartlow]

yea

 

[Stickroot]

Does the tree have roots for sure?

 

[Grant Bartlow]

it has a decent "root ball" but i did the scratch test on the trunk and it wasnt totally green, i just dont know i thought i was doing everything right

Well for one thing right now that tray has too much water in it and it's sitting I'm water!

The glued rocks must come off btw.

I can't tell from that picture but feel the foliage. Is it dry and prickly and falls off easily or does it feel soft and spring to the touch?

 

[Grant Bartlow]

falls off easy yea

 

[JoeR]

Oh and don't feel bad if it dies. I lost my first juni too.

 

[JoeR]

Oh sorry, posted at same time.

Sad to say it's almost definently a goner then. Its what happened to my first one.

It should not be the color green, it should be bright white. Best thing to do is put it in the shade OUTSIDE and protected from too much rain and leave it alone, either too much light or too much water got it. It might come back, it may not.

 

[Grant Bartlow]

damn, ill just look at it and pretend it isnt then

Don't worry about repotting. It's dead.

I wasn't aware that I am a BonsaiNut legend.

That honor really belongs to Smoke or Vance.
