"I found a dying tree..."

Well, maybe that's your problem. Any idea why it was dying?

"...it was exposed to Winnipeg winter for a block..."

Where'd you get this tree? Why was it not dormant already? What did you expect?

"I don't know what kind it is either."

What did you plan on doing with this tree?

I feel like I am missing something here.

Agree with Ficus benjamina. I see a bunch of broken stems but there's no way to determine any issues.

Ficus in general will drop leaves for any of a number of reasons. Changes in light, temperature, watering, etc. Why it was dying to begin with would be first. Secondly, you'll have to define "Winnipeg winter for a block..." A block in a car is one thing, a block in a wheelbarrow is quite another. Better pix and an idea of how it was potted would help.

it is probably dead .. depending how long it was outdoors ...

i dont understand the typo.. that is was out for a BLOCK ...

ken

Ok not long enough I guess it started new leaves and I really potted it

So I hope this will work and wondering if I should cut any dying branches off cause I don't know if those one will get new leaves also

Oops re Potted it I'm bad with this auto spelling

Woody lives! You should prune off any damaged or obviously dead branches back to a growing point, such as another branch.

It's a little hard to tell, but I think you've planted Woody a bit too deep. Some of his root flair, where the trunk widens and starts to become root material, should be above the soil.

Yes, I agree its potted too deep. Also, that soil looks waaaay too heavy. Look on the Container Forum for mix recipes. Finally, I'd not cut anything off that isn't brittle.

Thank every one this plant is making me smile every time I see new progress I'll look to see about the too deep in the soil

I may be confused but, this tender houseplant tree survived part of the winter in Canada? And what does "block" mean to a Canadian? Is a block a month to a Canadian, like a slang word in canada?

You know, I didn't consider that a 'block' might not mean the same thing to others that it means to me. I read the message to mean that the OP carried the plant outside for one city block, from one place that is indoors to another place that is indoors.

Me too. That's why I ask how it was transported for a block, but sasha doesn't seem to want to tell us.

Lol thanks again guys yes a block is one block between to places lol we canadians aint that different

Lol, I hear you got sidewalks there and everything! Good luck with Woody.
