    Depending on the variety of your plant, it may get as tall as 15', or stay closer to 5'. If your acuba is planted in the landscape, you might want to pursue making a tree with a container acuba. It’s always interesting what plants can do when ‘invited’ to grow in a different form.

    Aucuba is not reliably hardy in your zone, and the stress of a harsh winter can lead to many diseases. This article will tell you more: http://www.ces.ncsu.edu/depts/pp/notes/Ornamental/od21aucuba/od21aucuba.htm

    Check your watering and make sure your watering the pot evenly.
    Tamp down the soil if you think it could be air pockets.

    I would recommend transplanting in the fall. Dig as large of a root ball as you are able to handle.
    Make sure you dig the new hole twice as large as the root ball and keep the plant at the same level as it was previously.
    Water daily for at least two weeks, then you can cut back.
