Hey everyone, the support and encouragement from everyone has been
amazing, thank you all so much for your input.

Here's the plan I decided to go with (a mash of suggestions and a nice
pinch of gut feeling thrown in)

My gut told me to treat it like a cutting I was trying to root, so the
setup is basically that, with provisions made to try and keep the roots on
it alive.

-soaked remaining roots with superthrive
-nebari/trunk split wrapped snuggly with raffia (clean)
-slightly oversized training pot
-frankenstiened plastic bag mini greenhouse enclosure (with some ventilation)
-damp soil (closer to dry than wet)
-tree is in bright but constant shade

It's day 3 since the poor thing was ripped from the ground, and so far no
leaves have dropped, changed color, or wilted.

I have 2 questions, 1 if the tree's going to die, how soon would I know?
If there appears to be no change (it still looks healthy) for say... 2
weeks, can i assume it's going to make it (with proper pampering/care)?
and 2, any more thoughts about fertilizing? should I continue treatment
with superthrive?

Thanks,

Justin
