• My ZZ plant suffered a fracture from a human.

• I will post weekly photo updates.

• If the branch recovers and no longer needs the supports, this will resolve as YES. Otherwise, NO.

• I will not bet in this market.

REMOVAL OF SUPPORT TEST (photos ~15 mins post removal of support):

RE-INTRODUCE SUPPORT:

SUMMARY: confusingly, the branch seems to have suffered a secondary fracture just after the end of the first support. However, it looks like without the support THE ORIGINAL FRACTURE HAS REGAINED ITS STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY. I will assume that the second fracture is related to the first fracture in some way, and thus for this to resolve YES, I am looking to see that the entire branch can survive independent of a support. For the timebeing I have returned the support, and will repeat a second test (remove support) in roughly 1 month. If it looks stable at that point for several days without the support, this will resolve YES.
