i transferred a crow’s nest but i broke part of the main root. will it still grow?

Question

I have a large crow’s nest which I want to transfer but I broke part of the big root but it still has the little roots around it. Will it still grow?

Answer 1

It is hard to say without seeing the damage. Depending on exactly how much broke off, it could die, or it could survive.

I will say that it has a greater chance of dying since large cuts to the roots will usually invite infections. I would treat the wound with a fungicide before trying to replant.
