There were tunnels, running through the base of the tree area I found when I stepped around the base and it was very soft.what do you mean about rodents?

mmmmm well have to take that into considerationThere were tunnels, running through the base of the tree area I found when I stepped around the base and it was very soft.
Flamethrower, especially for ROUS!Not sure what you do for voles if that's what it is.
I love that bro.A little gift from the wifey
Could it be too much water?On September 8, we had an overnight Low of 37°, the next day my “ethos 10th planet” turned purple in some areas. In the last couple days she has started to wilt. So yesterday I watered it well. Today it is even more wilted. The next thing I noticed was around the drip line of the tree where some rodent tunnels. Before this that plant was happy and healthy. The other plants in the garden are doing well. Any suggestions, thoughts, ideas??
See if jimmie chimes in! He was having problems with them. Don’t know if they were eating his roots or gnawing the stalk but he lost a few!Not sure what you do for voles if that's what it is.
to my mind, since you've watered and it wilted further, and that the others are fine, and you found rodent disturbance, they've gnawed or damaged the main roots to whereas no water uptake occurs, which sucks, such a big beautiful plant, my advice if growing same place next season, identify the size of the culprit and/or tunnels, and dig into the soil a cylindrical wire netting barrier with diameter enough to contain the greater root mass and deeper than their preferred digging depth and plant within this barrier, although I've only grown outdoors once, I've helped countless people down here do so, and this works for surface and subterranean critters, though wont revive your beauty, best of luck with it and the rest.On September 8, we had an overnight Low of 37°, the next day my “ethos 10th planet” turned purple in some areas.

I had the same thing happen earlier in the year. Little fuckers ate all the bark of the bottom of three plants, worked their way up the branches too . Get in there and check the very bottom, it’s not real noticeable.That’s what I was afraid of
If anything, it would be not enough water.Could it be too much water?
I did dig around the base and didn’t find anything of concern (like your pics). Even exposed some roots, but quickly replaced dirt. The roots I looked at seem ok, but that was just a few near the surface.I had the same thing happen earlier in the year.

Can you drown them out with your hose and smash them when they come out?Not sure what you do for voles if that's what it is.
I’ve lost 2 plants from them chewing T the stalkI had the same thing happen earlier in the year. Little fuckers ate all the bark of the bottom of three plants, worked their way up the branches too . Get in there and check the very bottom, it’s not real noticeable.
