Question
Melaleuca Tree
Melaleuca Tree has almost died from lack of watering there are a few buds coming through afer feeding & watering for 4 weeks. Should it be cut back of left alone? thank you
Answer
I would give it some time before doing any heavy pruning to your Melalecua tree, allow the new growth to leaf out to avoid removing and living branches. Melalecua trees are generally very hardy so TLC and it could make a full recovery. Happy Gardening!
