| Hi There, I have a full grown 8' tall Tiger Eye Sumac. The leaves on one of its branches started wilting, so I watered and added a couple of hand fulls of bone meal to the base of it, but this did not help. Within a week all leaves have wilted and started drying out. The shrub is alive because there is a small green off-shout that is growing from the base of it that is still green, but why did that happen? Is it dying? Can I do something to save it? |

| The top has died, roots sound as if they are still alive. No way to know why with info given. It may re-grow from the roots or still-alive wood. Dan |
