There are a lot of unimportant things in this world. When my bosses were freaking out and I had extremely tight deadlines, I shrugged, got to work, and finished what I could. I did not worry. It wasn’t a big thing.
What is a big thing? Devin’s tree is a big thing. And that tree, it is dying.
I cannot handle this. I CANNOT handle this. I went to the garden store with photos begging for help. She’s going to pass it on to their expert tomorrow and let me know what to do about it. But I am terrified – TERRIFIED – that it is too far gone already.
I am scared what will happen to me if it does die. I can tell you it will not be good.
Oh Nat, I’m sorry.
Send me the photo’s and I’ll take a look and get an agrologist to take a look.
Oh Natalie! That is a big thing – I hope you can find out what is wrong with it and take care of it. I know a lady here who can grow anything and probably would know what to do – though Mrs. Spit is a bit of a horticulturist and I am sure will be very helpful.
Sending many well-tree wishes and prayers your way.
Nat ~ So sorry to hear about Devin’s tree…is it just the leaves that are gone? I thought my tree had died as well…all the leaves were brown and falling off. Turns out it was Japanese Beetles eating the leaves. The tree is coming back now. I hope that it’s something that can be helped.
natalie, hope devin’s tree heals quick! so sorry.
it still upsets me that the lemon tree I planted for our son has never fruited in two years. I try not to think of the symbolism…
Oh Nat, I’m sorry.
I am so sorry… hugs and thoughts for you.
Oh no! I hope somebody can help you. I don’t know squat about trees or I would be offering my help.
I don’t know anything about trees, but I hope the people at the nursery can help!
I know that feeling, watching it, worrying if it will make it. It’s crushing.
I planted a dwarf cherry tree after my m/c (DH wanted a cherry tree, I wanted an apple… but I went with his choice eventually.), and it looked like it was dying. I planted it in May, and no new buds turned into leaves. The leaves it had got eaten, and turned yellow and many fell off.
I started watering it everyday, checking in on it, hoping maybe I could revive it… and last week I noticed new leaves popping off the base of the tree. Out of the main trunk,at the bottom, oddly enough.
I thought for sure it was going to die, until I saw those little leaves.
Maybe get extra TLC; some pesticide, some fertilizer, and water it extra.
Hopefully it will survive.
Lots of hopeful vibes your way.
I hope it does not die. I UNDERSTAND the symbolism. I attach so much meaning to things relating to our little boy too. When/if anything happens it kills me. I has been 21 months and I am STILL that way.
*hugs* I hope that the tree is fine *hugs*
I understand the symbolism… I have a very struggling coral bark japanese maple…. I hope you can find out how to save your tree.
