We had a night of 8 degrees F about 5 weeks ago, and my nurseryman says it probably stalled out from the cold temp, since it had been in the 70s the week before. I poured lukewarm water on it last week. Is there anything else I can do? It's clearly alive-- the branches are flexible and if I scratch with my fingernail, there is green under the bark. |
