We were given a bonsai tree and the owner told us that it was placed by a heater and it had dried out and the needles on it are almost white. So since I know nothing about bonsai trees but a lot about plants I came home and gave it fresh dirt with fertilizer in it and I cut the root ball in half and have been watering it daily a little at a time. The tree has soaked up the water and now the needles are a light brown but they are still brittle and break off easy. I guess my question is, 1. IS this tree to far gone? 2. Can it be saved?
Its a shame to see it die its so beautiful I don't give up easy.
Thanks for any ideas.
