Does A Fukian Tea Bonzai Lose Its Leaves In Fall/winter?

Question

I just received my first bonsai and I don’t know if I should ecxpect the leaves to fall odd during dall/winter

Answer 1

No. They should not lose their leaves, and if they do, it will signal that the environment is not quite what it should be.

Here is a document from the United States Geological Survey--Biological Resources Division
Haleakala Field Station, Maui, Hawai'i that will help:
