Did you just leave that one alone to grow for a few years or did it never recover from the collection process? It is at least some comfort when you feel you can learn from the loss of trees. The worst part is not knowing what caused their demise.
The reason I lost most of my trees in the early days was chopping too much off too frequently. I'm a lot lazier with the scissors on developing stock these days.
