Thanks Vance. This isn't my thread, but I've been a little fuzzy on the defoliation issue myself. You helped to clarify it a bit. So, what happens the next year to the same tree? The leaves are little bigger again right? And the year after that they're back to normal size? Or, if all things are balanced, (pot size, sun, water, pruning,etc.) can the leaves be kept relatively small without a frequent need for defoliation? None of my books go into much detail about this. They briefly describe defoliation but not in a long term sense.

thanks again,

-scott
