Will this tree survive shipping to Minnesota in winter? Also, will this survive indoor in an office environment, not being watered on weekends?

My tree is now all brown and brittle. Don't know why. For several months it was growing fine and had visible new growth. Then it just stopped growing and everything turned brown, within a few days. Startling. I was advised to try putting it outside but I didn't see any improvement. Then the weather starting getting cold so I brought it back inside. I was also advised that this is really an outside plant. I would not recommend it for an office. Even in a house with the windows open and good sunlight and good humidity, mine didn't make it. Still am taking care of it. But my hope is waning that there will be a comeback. The Winter in Minnesota was not a factor.

I have a potted one indoors that is beautiful. The other one is outside, and it's too early for me to tell if it will come back well from the winter. I'm in Atlanta, GA.

No. I wouldn't leave it outdoors. It's a nice piece for indoors, solid maple, nicely constructed.

In NY I was very successful planting indoors , then out after danger of frost. Only one lived over the winter however.BR

I cannot answer your question right now. I just planted mine here in the US. I previously lived in a tropical country where my first tree was planted. I will see if my plant survives the winter. So far, it looks to be in hibernation.

I am growing mine inside and put it outside in the warmer weather. It does need a sunny location to flower but if you don't have that area the plant is still pretty. I live in MA in a cold apartment with very little light so it doesn't flower and I also forget to water it a lot and it has been a very forgiving plant but of course it doesn't thrive when I neglect it.

I did not get mine in the cold but I do know that I loved my little tree and yes the pot I thought was to small so I called eves and they told me to trim the roots till it fits and that worked. My only problem was after 6 to 7 months I forgot to water it for close to a week and it died. I am going to get another tree strait from them since I still have the kit

I would assume you could grow it indoors but there would come a time that it would have to be transplanted to a large green house that would be temperature controlled as this tree will get up to 25 feet high.

I live in Glendale, Southern California. This plant should be put in a place that you know for sure is where you would like it. It Does Not like to be transplanted or even moved and will show you resentment. It had a Fit when I moved it and had a setback. It likes dappled sun or half day sun, half day shade. Don't over water, but don't let the soil dry out. It is very important to Not let it be in direct sun all day in summer or during a heat wave because the leaves will burn. Best of the best tree I ever bought.

Mine is outdoors and does great there. Im pretty sure theres no such thing as an indoor bonsai. You can bring them inside to display them for a couple days, but they need to be outside.

I'm probably not the best person to answer that question. Living in Ormond Beach, Florida, frost is generally not a problem for us. My suggestion is that you contact the Davidson family at DAS Farms who initially grew the tree. I believe they are located in Alabama. Their e-mail is dasfarmstn@yahoo.com. Hope you can get an answer. Joe Stock

If you are growing this plant indoor, the winter zone should not be an issue. Just as a reference, I live in zone 7 and still have problem growing this plant indoor. My plant from 9GreenBox is relatively big but I still have problem growing it. The have multiple failures so it probably has nothing to do with 9GreenBox.

This plant wont be able to handle anything under 30 degrees..you have to bring it inside during the winter so keep in a large pot you can move around

Very cold weather will probably will hurt it. Mine was planted in the San Francisco Bay area and on the coast where in never gets very cold.

Mine is inside in Pennsylvania. It's outside now in 80 degree sunshine, and loves the rain, however I have had a few problems with it drying, it doesn't like full sun. I hope this helps out a little bit! It's a hardy plant. I've sat it out in the sun and it didn't rain for a couple days before I realized it needed water. The plant has grown back even when I thought it was dead.

Mine has been outside in northern mn since may. All new leaves and no blossoms. Will bring it indoors to a heated garage for winter. Hopeful.
