Does anyone know if this olive plant is alive or dead? The trunk looks good and it’s appear good as well.

Check how roots are doing and be careful about overwatering while there’s barely any photosynthesis happening!

The last I checked the roots (which was 2 days ago), looked good, so I don’t know what’s going on😕

Scrap some of the bark off with your finger nail if it’s a white green it’s still alive if brown it’s probably died
