Sapling
Hi folks -
Bonsai newbie here. Last week we had some hot days, and on one of them I neglected my trees (my daughter was graduating high school, had company in town, yadda yadda ... I'm a bad plant dad).
Most of my trees -- including 35+ bald cypress saplings -- held up fine. But a couple that I have potted together looked extra thirsty, so I moved them to the shade and put them in a shallow tub of water filled halfway up the pot for a day or so. Seemed like they were bouncing back, but one of them took a major turn for the worse this a.m.
You'll see some pictures attached, including one where I did a scratch test about halfway up the trunk (it's green).
Question: Do you think the struggling tree can be saved? If so, is there anything special I should do for the tree?
Thanks!
