The picture with lots of green at the top was February 12, right after taking it out of the huge nursery pot. For size estimate, there is a mechanical pencil at the base. The other picture is yesterday, and it looks like all or most of the green at top just died. There may be some green alive under the brown leaves.
I wanted to have two levels of leaves, partly to justify that huge pot. I don't have anything else even remotely that big.
Would this die back be temporary? Could I expect the other green to die completely? For a couple of weeks there were little bitty flowers growing and I thought it was doing fine. Did it react to the first fertilization of the seas?

After putting it in the pot, all I have done is cut off two very long stringy branches and fertilize with fish fertilizer.leatherback wrote: I would probably do nothing to this tree untll established?

Well, also I have pulled the dremel out and ground some dead wood off. It is hard as a rock.
One possible issue is rain because it won't stop, but it sat in the soggy ground forty years and it is hard to think pumice-kava rock-akadama doesn't drain.
Ok, let it sit and fertilize lightly.
