I revive the plant , it is in a big pot and it about 9 feet tall. There is a little green color on the tops of both trunks. Wanted to know leave it and see if it puts out, or cut it back and replant? Thought we had it in a green house that would keep it alive but not so sure, since all the limbs have fallen off. Had this about 15 years don't won't to loss it. Thanks for your help.

Certified ExpertA.It is best not to do any pruning till all the cold weather has passed. You can cover it during any more cold spells. These articles should help:

November 25, 2024Q.How Can I Tell If My Norfolk Is Male Or Female?
Do I have to wait 15-50 years to find out from the seed pods and whatnot or is there a way to tell before maturity?

Certified ExpertA.Correct, and it may take closer to the 15 to 20 mark. Unfortunately, this is going to be a waiting game. Until then, just give it the best care that you can.

Certified ExpertA.You would need to check whether they are individual trees with separate crowns or just one or two crowns with several trunks arising. You wouldn't want to separate the trees coming from one crown or growing point.
If you have several separate crowns, you can divide those carefully, disturbing the roots as little as possible. Plant each crown in a separate container, with the new soil line the same as it was before.

Certified ExpertA.Beautiful tree! They can be finicky. Keep the soil moist but not saturated. Water when the top of the soil is dry. Here are the growing needs:
