Can my tree be saved?! :o?

I doubt that you can reattach the top to the plant but because it broke off, I don't think that will hurt the plant as a whole. It will cause the plant to send out more tips. this is called pinching, which is taking the new growth heart of the plant to send the energy farther back down the stem to send out new tips.

I'm not sure if the tip that broke off will root, but why no try it with some rooting hormone to develop roots. It won't hurt to try, anyway.

It won't hurt to mulch the roots as well. I would wait until the ground freezes before you put the mulch on so the roots won't stay warm and promote more growth as the freezing weather will only kill.

I would not suggest painting the broken tip as it may trap bacteria and fungus that would harm the plant. Just leave it open and it will heal itself.

You might contact the people where you bought your tree or a local garden center or nursery to see if it is hardy for your area and if it needs protection through the winter.

I'd try to splint it back together and hope for the best. but it would likely come back on it's own by splitting at the break point and branch out again. most trees are a lot tougher than you'd think. it will set back the fruiting for a while, but just let it be and it'll eventually recover. it'll look pretty depressing, but it'll manage itself.

Call the place you got it from, and ask them for help.

They will not only tell you what to do for your climate, but perhaps they will help you out in getting a replacement.

Jhhh
