I have few Tropical trees out there all around my garden growing very nicely (some are on the ground). I decided to experiment growing them out on the field during warmer time and bring them back in when frost about to set in. So few olives (Approx. 15 yrs and 10 yrs and 3 yrs which are in larger pots), Bougainvillea (Ground), Night blooming Jasmine (Ground), Pom (Large Pot), even a eucalyptus citriodora
I know they won't survive below 20 F, so in about 2 months they will come back in. They have grown very nicely in and around my garden area. Some grown as large as 5 feet (Bougainvillea) and 3-4 feet new growth (olive, Eucalyptus). I just can't keep them inside that big and was planning to prune them anyway. My focus right now is to grow them, thicken them up and don't worry about styling until very late.
Question: Since I have approx 2 more month of outside sun, should I just go ahead and prune them now so they recover by the time I bring them in and not prune and bring them in to increase stress?
