If My Tea Tree Shrub Has Good Roots But Looks Dead Up Top, Do I Leave It Alone Or Dig It Up ?

Question

The branches snap off and they behave like wood , with no sap. I have tried to dig it out of the pot but it seems to have a good root system on it, so I’m a little confused as to what to do.

Answer 1

If the roots are good and alive, then I would leave it alone to recover.
