To find out if the bougainvillea tree is still alive after surviving the long winter, try to bend the stem and if the stem bend it means the tree is alive or still in dormant, but if the stem breaks or snap it means the tree is dead. The other way to see is to slice the tree skin to see if the inside is green the the tree is alive..but if the inside is brown or light brown and not green then the tree is dead...since it's not yet summer, I'll wait till the month of June to see if there will some leaves come out of the tree...
