    They normally don't get much taller than 5-6'. The care depends on whether it is a tropical or hardy tree. The tropical ones need to be protected from cold and the hardy ones do not. Other than that, the care is the same.

    If the stem is alive, it will come back. It is simply in dormancy. If the weather is consistently over 50 degrees F, place it back outside and water as you normally would. You will see leaves in just a few weeks.

    Water the plants thoroughly, top to bottom. This will wash off what is left. They may recover, but I suspect that the bug spray had herbacide accidentally mixed in with it.

    Was the spray container from the manufacturer or one of your own? Also, was it hot the day you sprayed the plants?
