I recently brought some pain to my fukien tea. After two years of being root bound, I decided to repot. I live in South Florida, and just repotted 3 days ago. Suprisingly enough, odd for this time of year, we experienced a last minute cold front, and sure enough, I was no where near home. It only got in to the high 50s, for a couple hours at night. But sure enough I believe it shocked the tree enough to dry out the leaves. This morning the leaves were still dried out, kind of curled up, and some lighter than others. The shine is diminshing.

I am not sure whether or not this was due to that chill or the repot, and probably a combination of both, Now the weather is fine, but the tree seems to be in shock to the point where I am afraid I am loosing it.

My question. Are fukien's a forgiving tree that make stress comebacks? Does the tree tend to have a green under-bark layer? When I do a scratch test, I see a bit of green, but mild and pale. Has anyone had a success fukien comeback with these symptoms?

Thanks in advance.
