Q.China Doll Plant
My china doll plant has turned into a 5 foot stick with a few leaves at the top. Can I cut it down to a normal size plant without killing it? It drops it leaves when I bring it into the house over winter and usually sprouts again when spring arrives and it is on the deck.

Yes, you can cut it back. In fact, this plant often requires regualr pruning to keep it looking good. Here's an article on its care: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/houseplants/china-doll/radermachera-sinica.htm
