My mother has kept this plant in a large pot for about seven years. It's about 20" tall and has a about a 5/8" inch base @ the trunk. I am planning to repot very soon. Any advice or comments woulf be greatly appreciated. My main question is, can this tree be kept indoors, near a window for indirect light? Thanks, Dan

'No, it would most likely die'. For advice and comments you will get a better response if you post a photo or two. Also a description of the soil you intend to use for the re-pot, new pot size etc. would be very helpful for folks who want to give you advice.

The weather right now would be to much stress for a deciduous repot. __________________ Emerging from winter slumber Bonsai trees burst buds anew Spring is upon us! -Paul S.

I'm really worried about leaving the plant outside for fear of theft from my sketchy neighbors. What if I only brought it in when I was'nt home?

But always remember its a tree and belongs out doors. __________________ "We grow by attempting that which is difficult, not what is easy"
