I bought an Ilex Silver Queen in a pot. It said place in water for ten mins before planting. i did but then did not plant. It was outside for a couple weeks and now its leaves are browny. I planted it hoping it will recover...will it? |

the leaves might turn brown but if the buds begin to open and new growth comes out that is the most important thing. A good indicator is if you scrape back a bit of the bark near the tip of the shoot, or a few inches back from it, it should be green and not brown or black. I hope it recovers for you.
