How can you tell if your plant is dead or alive? Dormant plants and trees may wake up a little later than usual if the weather conditions are not ideal. The easiest way to check if they will come back is to see if they are still alive by doing a bark test. Simply scratch off a bit of the top layer with a knife or thumbnail. If the tissue is wet and green, the plant is entirely healthy. But the stem is no longer alive if it is dry and brown.

A bark test is the best way to check if your plant is alive or dead. You can also check by giving the branches an easy bend. If the branches bend easily, then it is alive. If it is brittle and snaps, the chances are that the branch is dead. It is hard to tell if a plant is alive, but these techniques should help.
