Help with Christmas tree please... gone brown!

Scaredy_Cat_3

Please can someone advise me? We bought a small Christmas tree a couple of years ago, it's about 2 ft tall and has lived outdoors in a pot all the time. It's recently turned brown which (I've read) may mean it's already dead. However, it does have some new green shoots on the ends of the branches, so I hope it can still be saved. Does anyone know how we can revive it please?

Sorry to say, but I think it is indeed a goner. Firs (other than yew) won't regrow green once the foliage is dead. I suspect it's got too dry in the pot.

Will have to check - I wasn't sure if it needed to be dry or moist and the weather has been quite changeable here lately. It could have had too much water, or too much sun. I'm still hopeful as it has new green shoots on the ends of quite a few branches so it can't be completely dead. I just don't know what to do to give it the best chance of survival.

About the best you can do is to repot to bigger pot and keep moist. You can't drown a potted plant in the summer(assuming adequate drainage) but you can dessicate them.
