[IBC] Dried (?) Hackberry
 

Stephanie wrote:

We recently purchased a very large Hackberry bonsai tree. It must be
very old because it's trunk has a 2 inch diameter. It has been doing
fine outside, receiving early morning sun, then getting indirect sun
the rest of the day. Recently here in Phoenix it went up 107 degrees.
We've been keeping it watered but noticed yesterday that the leaves
have dried up and sort of shriveled up. Is this due to the heat? We've
since brought it inside and are furiously talking to it telling it that
it can not die! lol Is there anything else we can do for it, is it past
the point of no return, was the heat too much for it?

Thanks,
Stephanie Mastorakis
