    Bought a christmas tree and put it out to plant. Since then it has slowly changed colour. at first i thought it was root shock, it hasnt lost any needles. Any ideas :sad:

    Did it go from a warm house straight into the garden?

    Did you harden it off by putting it out during the day and bringing it back in at night for a week?

    Do you think it will recover or is it dead?

    Scratch a branch with your thumbnail. If it's green under the skin you might be OK. If it's brown, it's an ex-plant.
