Its a basjoo japanese. As far as the roots, they are still in the ground. I went over and pulled on what was left of the stalk and it was only maybe 1/2" in diameter and about 6" tall but it was laying on the ground and starting to turn brown. The stalk pulled up just like spaghetti. It was really moist and gooey. I have heard from someone else last night that i am probably over fertilizing them. I use peters professional fertilizer. I was using it about 2X a week with a gallon of water. I just want my other one to survive. I have heard that maybe theroots from the stalk i pulled up might grow back. I hope so.
Ok I will try to explain as much as i know so someone an help me. I have 2 trees. bansjo or however they are pronounced. Im new to this whole thing. Well my 1st tree i got alomst 3 yrs ago. It grew to about 4 ft tall and had plenty of leaves on it. I never had it in the ground. Just in a pot with miracle grow and potting soil. Well last yr i got another baby tree from my dads big one. He had 4 of em grow off his big tree. Well we had it in a 5 gallon bucket and the dirt that was around the parent tree. Well it was doing good and sprouting a couple of leaves. Well i recently moved and when i did wind damage tore apart the leaves on both trees. Well i cut the broken leaves off and they were doing better. Then When it got warmer I transplanted them into the garden area outside my apartment. The ground was real moist. I kept them in the ball out of the pot and everything. Even put the soil that they were in down in the ground with them. Then I mulched it. I didnt use much mulch about 2" maybe. Well since then (about 3-4 weeks ago) my lil one has completely limped over and died. I went out today and easily pulled the rest of it out of the ground. My big one isnt growing any leaves. It is about 2-3 ft tall. It doesnt even look like it is going to be growing anything. I have come to grips that i lost my lil one but i want to save my big one. What could be causing it not to grow? I water it 3-4 times a week about a gallon each time. I also use Peters professional growing mix. 1 tblsp per gallon. BUt still isnt doing anything. I was using this method on my lil one before it passed and i dont want my big one to pass. COuld it be in the soil? Bugs eating it? I have hospice or however its pronounced growing in the same garden and they are growing too much. I just want to get some advice on what to do with my tree? Should i move it back to original pot that it was in? It seemed to do good that way. It gets full sunlight from about 1 till dark right now. Please help!!!
