Question From: B. Kovacs - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States
Q: I have a 4 1/2 foot bald cypress tree. It was an impromptu purchase because I loved the trees look. Unfortunately I live in the city and I don't have a suitable place to plant this tree. I have been investigated on how I may be able to maintain and keep the tree indoors over the winter in a modest sized pot- this includes removing the root ball in the spring and trimming the roots clearing the soil and re-potting it. I guess I just want to see if this viable for the tree. I have a spot by the south west full glass door it can live for the winter and when the weather changes I can put it outside. Is this crazy? If not any additional advice would be great. Thanks BRIAN

Your tree was not meant to live indoors. It's dying. Get it outdoors. When the temperatures begin to freeze at night you can move it into a shed or unheated garage. Check out this website to read more:
