A buddy of mine does landscaping and removed a couple of andromedas from a client site, the roots were severely damaged in the process. One had a little bit of root mass left and was planted and seems to be doing ok, the other had basically no root mass, was put in the ground and despite watering 3x a day is clearly on its way out

I was thinking about putting the one that’s dying in a bucket with water and kelp as a last ditch effort to get it to take up nutrients and also maybe grow some roots. I could also prune it back a lot so it stops transpiring as much. Maybe try both? Idk

    Thanks good tip, I think for now since it’s basically got a fully open vascular system I’ll let it ride. If I had pruned it first it probably wouldn’t have gotten to this point… we’ll see how it does
