Looks like it might root again, but I'd make a nice basket for it. It also has what appears to be rabbit damage to the bark a little higher.
Thanks for the encouragement. I feeling a little bit better about the situation after reading that all babacos are propagated from cuttings.
I just went to Lowe's to get some rooting hormone, potting soil, peat moss, and vermiculite. I also have some perlite here. I'm going to wait for additional responses tonight and then attempt something tomorrow.
The tree currently has the main trunk which is about 4.5' tall, with plenty of leaves and 2 small fruit, plus two smaller trunks that are each about 1.5" tall with some leaves and no fruit.
I'm thinking of cutting off both side shoots and attempting to root those separately, to give me two more chances at saving something, and then attempting to get the main trunk rooted again.
Or should I cut the top off the main trunk and root that, and leave ones of the side shoots with the main trunk?
Should I be rooting mature wood or green wood on a babaco?
Should I cut off all the leaves?
