I thought I would give a quick update on this one !
I did bare root it a few days after I posted this thread and I broke the top branch while doing this, it inside of the trunk didn't look healthy at all where it broke, all black like if only had one live vain or something.
Anyway I bare-root it and repot it in a well draining soil, for the first couple of week I thought it was dead, the only 2 or 3 leaves it had on died/dried but I kept on nursing it, watering it when the soil was dry and the mild spring helped with high humidity and mild temperatures I think
Today buds are appearing everywhere, looks like the tree is saved and is happy again. 2 more weeks and we will know for sure
