I have a ficus tree about 5 foot tall. I live in the Tampa, FL area. This winter my tree got hit by the frost. All the leaves have fallen off. I really don’t wanna lose it. Can I do anything, will it come back, should I cut it back, If so how far(much)? Need some help. Thank you.

I have a ficus tree and I have had it for about 1 yr. I want to plant it outside. Will it survive if I plant it now in the ground. I want to know if that would be a good idea or should I just leave it in the pot I have it in. I want to plant it outside.

I have four ficus trees that are planted outside. I have grown these from small trees, in which they outgrew all the pots we put them in. We live in St. Marys, Ga. This winter we covered these trees with tarps from sams club. Three have dropped some of their leaves. We were told we should have covered them with sheets instead of tarps. I also forgot to mention that we put a hanging 100 watt bulb in each tree. I would like to know if this is the correct way to cover them. Two are veregated and two are green leaves.

A former homeowner planted a ficus tree much too close to my house. It has grown to over a story tall, is totally blocking any sunlight I might have gotten in the garden window over my kitchen sink, and by now, I’m sure the root system must be wreaking havoc with my foundation. I’d like to have it removed. Does anyone have any recommendations as to how to remove it? Also, does anyone know if the wood from the tree is useful and who might be best able to make use of it?

I have a ficus tree that has been grown inside. I would like to repot it and move it outside. Is this possible without killing the tree?

I have a Ficus Tree in a pot and I want to plant it
outdoors. Any suggestions on what I should do to make
sure it survives the transplanting? I live in Central
Florida, and how about when it freezes, will it withstand freezing temperatures? I want to set it out from the house in the open sun. Should I do anything with the roots when I take it out of the pot?

I have a 4 foot tall rubber plant in a pot out doors and want to plant it in the ground. Live in Central Florida. How far from house or street does it need to be?
