It will recover but it will loose some leaves. I am sure you watered it already and I hope you did not fertilize. Remember that it is also reacting to the lack of sun and possible temperature fluctuations. It now needs sun but not full sun for a week.

thank you so much for your response.

Today, a week later, the leaves look much drier and kind of lost color like white but I scratched the stem and it's green and looks healthy. I didn't fertilize though i put only some mulch on the pot's soil. It looks like it will lose its leaves. It also looks like it has a disease. Do you think I should prune to the point of black spots? Can it grow other leaves if it drops these already dried ones? Would appreciate any advice

Yes go ahead and prune it since you have lost a growing season now. Then it will be trained for container life thicken up and grow bushier.

thanks you dnedd1 zone7 LI NY. i followed your advice and pruned it. will try to update photoes.

I thought you were going to keep it containerized? What is your winter climate like and how soon will winter arrive? Remove the top 2 dead stems and the very bottom new shoots as they will both affect your expected outcome. When the top shoots fill out then add a pinch of Epsom salt at the edge of the mulch bi weekly to help it recover faster.

thanks dnedd1 zone7 LI NY,

you are right. i was gonna keep it in pot but then i didn't have space in the balcony so i decided to plant it outside on a hill top (sandy loam comprised). Tirana, Albania here has mainly a mediterranean climate and winter will come in november sometimes even late november to december (currently temp is 26-29 centigrades) and rarely goes minus 0 centigrades here so i am thinking to cover it when the cold arrives.

as you said i will remove the 2 dead stems and the bottom shoots but where to cut/pug the 2 stems, do i cut at the point where they connect or a little lower?(i am little worried that the main trunk wont expand in 2 stems/branches if i cut both stems now)

secondly, about the epsom salt, is epsom salt magnesium sulfate? just want to know the name it is sold when i go to buy it. and how much do you think i should use weekly (at the edge of the mulch)?
