    It should be growing, somewhat, vigorously. Are there any other symptoms? Do you have this in bright light? This could be responsible for slow growth. Can you provide a picture, so that I may see what the potting mix looks like, and the overall health of the tree?

    thanks for the reply! There don't seem to be any other symptoms. I just watered it yesterday, but it looks dry. The soil seems moist to the touch though. I live in Oregon so I can't really have it outside right now. I obviously didn't know the proper time to plant it but it seems healthy. Right?

    New Hampshire has a very wide range of zones within the state. I would need to know a zipcode or a town to better help you. The zones range from 3 to 6, so knowing that will be a big difference in choices of trees.

    You do have several options for your area. The only limitation is the cool temperatures, but these species listed on this link will survive in your area: http://www.bonsai-and-blooms.com/cold-climate-bonsai-tree-types.html

    Check with your local government for regulations on transfer of plant material.

    The first consideration is water deficit/drought stress. Without sufficient water the foiage will dry and die.

    It is a little difficult to tell because of the plant's condition, but the bark suggests that it is a Ficus of some kind. Most likely a subcultivar of Ficus benjamina.
