Tropicals & Tender Perennials: My first alley tree potted up!, 1 by Kell

This poor tree was too big for my hoop house so I pulled it from the ground and put it in my house. It hated it indoors unlike all my other brugs and dropped 75% of its leaves. When it started to look really bad I moved it back outside just in time for a terrible wind storm then 2 nights of frost. It promptly lost the rest of its leaves. I just moved it to the front yard and put it in a huge clay pot, complete with border dahlias to perk up the pot in the summer. It stands over 12 feet!

I just haven't had the heart to cut off the side growth yet.
