chinese elm & fried leaves

16 years ago

HI.. I FORGOT TO MOVE MY TREE TO GET WATERED... BY THE TIME I NOTICED IT WAS BONE DRY AND THE LEAVES WERE CRISP AND BROWN... I DID A SCRATCH TEST AND THE TRUNK IS GREEN AND NO SPIDER MITES. MY QUESTION IS WILL THE TREE PUT OUT ANOTHER FLUSH OF NEW LEAVES OR DROP THE BROWN ONES TILL NEXT YEAR?ALSO SHOULD I LEAVE IT IN THE SHADE?? THANKS TOM.....

Maybe light shade, but if it's already acclimated to sun, it's not really a problem. I hope you watered it slowly and evenly til the water came out the drain holes, but didn't totally drown it sodden to compensate - not helpful. Just give it time and it's likely to come back - except you didn't say how long it went unwatered and that will matter.
