Is the top half of my Syzygium dead?
Hi all!
I asked in the other Bonsai sub but for whatever reason, unless you have a decade of experience keeping trees, they're super condescending unfortunately.
I have a Syzygium that was doing super well, but unfortunately I went on holiday for a week, and not only forgot to water it before I left, but forgot to arrange somebody to come and water it whilst I was gone too. (ADHD, yay!)
When I got back, I thought the tree was dead entirely, but after a few weeks of watering/misting, there's some nice healthy growth coming through again - but only on the bottom of the tree.
I've done a bark test on the trunk section between the two halves, and there are green patches, but its primarily cream/brown. Is the top half of the tree dead? And if so what's the best plan of action?
If not - am I best leaving it alone and continuing as I am? Or is it worth trimming the branches back and letting everything regrow out?
She looks very sad atm:(
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: Just to add, I'm in the UK and in a second floor apartment so outside isn't an option for several reasons. It's under a grow light, I mist it once or twice daily, and water it every 2/3 days just before the soil starts to dry out.
