quote: Thanks for posting the pic! Thanks it looks so healthy.
Do you keep it outside as in the picture?

Yes, it stays right there., However I turn it weekly

Whats the Nj weather like right now?

Sunny and warm in the upper 80's

So when in the winter do you take it inside?
If so, does it lose leaves?

No, when I bring it in doors, I, first spray it with a very stiff spray from my hose to eliminate any pests (mostly spiders) that might be enjoying their home. It does not lose any leaves, but I know they usually grow a little larger to make up for the difference in light.

The leaves look light green, but when you take it inside in the winter (if you do) do they get greener like dark green?

No, the leaves really are not that light green. (I think it is just the photograph). They do not change color that much.... Retusa leaves are larger than most of the Ficus I have owned, so the tree needs to be larege in order to be proportionate. It is at its' maximum for me, since I try not to lift anything over 25-30 pounds... This tree is right about there!

Thanks, carl. I'm a fan here lol

Well, all I can say is Thank you!!!!
