I recently collected a very old jasmine trunk. It has the bark of 200 year old cypress a small amount of root rot also.
I've only just started and only have a few old privets in my bag. I need some advice on the jassie trunk it is very beautiful and I want to do it justice. Thank you..??

Hey mate. Welcome to the forum!

Your post is quite ambiguous. What kind of advice do you want?

Unfortunately I think that stump will probably die. I could be wrong but there are not many roots there. If you're after advice on making it live then pot it up with some well draining mix and give it seasol once a week. But if you haven't already potted it in something it's certainly going to die...

Good luck

Thanks any advice is good advice. Didn't mean to sound full of my self just it has nice
Features in person. Really appreciate the help thankyou.
Now time to keep it alive

I concur, older trunks are harder to keep alive. I had one probably a quarter the age of this one and much more feeders... it shot buds twice but both times lost it and then just died.

Very difficult to get beyond the bud stage.

Good luck though,

Thanks mo I hope it survives. I've got a lot more stumps in better condition. But in saying that
There substantially smaller.

Free draining mix is good advice - I would give Seasol every couple of days and keep it in the shade. It may survive - I have no experience with this species. Good luck

Yesterday I thought I would put it in a bucket of seasol for soak over night.
Go and check on it this morning and it had struck 3 or 4 large white buds. Hope its a sign for things
To come. Although mo said he could get it to bud
But died shortly after.
