If there is a green cambium layer under the bark, then it is still alive. It's chances of survival sound slim. Cutting off dead wood and planting in a shaded area in moist, well-drained, acidic soil would give it the best chance. Fertilizing at this point would just increase the shock. Then if and after it recovered, it would need to moved to a place with more light so that it would begin blooming. They need some sunlight to bloom.

My lot has almost no solid shade. If it needs more than partial shade, I can put it at the back of my lot in or at the edge of the woods. The soil is definitely well drained and acidic up there. Don't know about it's quality though.

There is definitely green under the bark. I scraped it lightly.

It's Renee Michelle.

Thanks for your advice

That sounds good. Think of it as an intensive care area.

Thanks. I've moved it to the woods. Do I leave it there all winter and move it in the spring or should I move it to a spot that gets more sun in the fall?
Thanks for your help!
