I bought this thornless triple crown blackberry. It looked like this when I bought it, and I assumed it was supposed to look like this until spring. But the roots haven't seemed to have taken hold. It's dead, isn't it?

  1. I think it’s donezo. The roots don’t seem to have any new growth. Sorry, man.

    As someone who dealt with a LOT of root rot last year from drying out, that is 100% dead

    Realistically, there is probably a < 10% chance it may recover, but that would take a very long time and new soil, and its still a very low chance. Usually not worth it

    If the top portion looks that severely dehydrated its almost certainly dead though, but I couldn’t say for sure
