Hi there I recently was gifted a Cork Oak that (unknown to me) had grown into the ground from its pot. Upon lifting it, two quite thick roots snapped off with ease, almost as if they weren't there. Anyways, I slip potted it and there seemed to only be dead/abandoned roots as it had grown into the ground, although the soil was consolidated. Anyways, after about 2 weeks the leaves have browned and become brittle, branches are relatively green when scratched/snapped, although by no means supple. I tired putting some seasol kelp fert and rooting hormone in the soil in a frivolous attempt. This is in New Zealand and we are currently in the beginning of winter, winters are mild here.
Some helpful tips would be appreciated, trying to keep this one alive, maybe some winter cuttings before it completely dies?
Many Thanks
