Donkeys mutilated my partner and I’s first Christmas tree.
Hi all,
I am distraught. Over a plant.
We bought this Norfolk pine as a silly little Charlie Brown Christmas tree a couple of years ago. It survived a year of pure neglect while I was finishing my internship. It was finally thriving and so beautiful and our neighbors donkeys ate it down to the stem. I read that the new growth comes from the top of the plant (which they ate) and tips or mature branches (which they ate). Is this plant doomed? I looked into propagating as well which seems difficult and also would require a healthy tip of a mature branch.
