Is my Acer dead after cutting the roots?
I used to have a very healthy and happy Acer in a big pot. Around 8 months ago, I needed to replace the pot as it was falling apart. When doing this, I realised the roots had grown down into the patio so i had to cut several thick roots. I reported the plant in a new pot of the same size . Since then, all the leaves fell off and the end of the branches have turned white. Can I save it or is it dead?

My acer suddenly died after five years. He just dried, despite mild winter.
