Is my Bottlebrush dead?

We bought our Bottlebrush last year from Asda and planted it into a pot on our patio. It did really well but is now looking in a sorry state. I was a little late with the fleece blanket this winter and it’s had a little bit of late frost this spring. Is it dead or could I revive it?

Also, it’s in a large pot, would it be better in the ground?

Thanks as always!

My guess would be its dead, if you had the cold weather in December that most of us had.
give the stem a scratch low down and if its brown under the bark it pretty much dead.

 

Thanks yet again Pete. You’ve been a massive help today!

 

Hi Pete.

it’s dead?

 

It looks like it, even if it was still alive it would be a long time getting back to something worthwhile.
