Is it dead?
I thought it was dead. I bought this pretty hydrangea tree last year. Over the winter we had a horrible ice storm. Most of my plants made it through okay, but the hydrangea didn't look so good. I did some investigating on the internet. I found a Gardner who showed how to prune the dead limbs and cross limbs off the hydrangea. I followed the direction of the Gardner very carefully. I ended up with a awkward looking bare limbed looking tree. I even heard the question, what happened to it? I waited. I checked to see if there were any buds periodically. Nothing. Then one day I saw what appeared to be buds down on the lower branches. I became excited about the tree possibly being alive. I planned to cut the branches down to what appeared to be buds. First, I prayed over each branch to have life and to bloom. I checked on it again to see if the little buds were blooming. Not much appeared to be happening. Would the tree bloom? Would the beautiful flow...
