  • Question

    I have a small tree that is outside in a pot from April to the end of October. It does not seem deciduous; when I take it in it has not lost any leaves. But indoors, under a plant light, it begins to lose leaves until by mid January it's bare. When I put it back outside in mid April to begins to leaf out by May, gets fully leafed by June and grows new, green branches during the summer. I want to know what it is, and what is the best way to care for it.

    Answer

    Dear jerrycimisi, I wish I could help you, but I don't recognize this tree. Go Botany is website dedicated to wild plants of New England. I'm happy to entertain all plant-related questions, and can sometimes help with cultivated species and/or species from outside this range. But this time I cannot (sorry).
