Joanie, thank you for your help! I am glad that we were correct in assuming that the tree needed to spend more time outside, and your confirmation will definitely ensure that is where it spends its days. I am also eager to try out your suggested watering technique, but I will wait a few more days and test the soil before I water the tree again.

Of course, leaving the tree outside is no problem now, during the summer, but what should I do in the fall/winter? If it returns to good health, will it be hardy enough to survive outside? As I put in my profile, I'm located in Kentucky - our winters aren't too bad but it just looks like such a delicate little tree... Also, should I scrape off the green moss that is growing around the rock and the bottom of the tree?
