A friend gave me a bedraggled pom-pom cypress in January 2012. After pruning off the dead parts the tree looked sad.
I decided to experiment. I started chilling water in the fridge and adding ice cubes to the top of the soil. My thinking is the roots will stay cool and happy.
The growth is slow. I see light blue tips beginning to peep out from the tree.
I am icing the pom-pom cypress early in the morning and watering with ice-cold water in the evening. I am completely going on instinct with this tree. Wish the pom-pom luck!
Enjoy your day!
