Alive!

I thought my poor lychee was dead (from being left out in the winter) and now I see signs of life! I cut off all the dead wood and then put Doc Farrell's seal on the cut. Here's hoping for its survival. I'll need to transplant, at some point, to a smaller pot so I can take in next winter.

Update: October 10th.

I think my little air-layer is dead. How sad. But my main tree is still alive.

Air layering worked!

I didn't take pictures because my brain was fried but I looked under the aluminum foil to take a peek and I was delighted to find roots growing!! How cool! There was also this large lump of white calous growth, not sure what it was but it may be proto-roots?
 So I cut off the branch and planted it into a 5 gallon Gro Pot. I made a moist planting mix; so I hope it likes it.
I kind of rushed the planting but if it takes off, I'll repot it when it settles.
