You know how I hate to be critical, but I don't see any bark shedding which is a function of growth. Good growth = lots of shedding.
Like this...

This is the time of year when you should see this.

Are you saying you doubt the health of this tree?
Because all I see is jubilant growth on this BRT.

Maybe something is wrong with it?

 

[Forsoothe!]

Oh my God! Look! Lots more bark shedding. I'm going to have to up-pot it monthly...

 

[sorce]

Too much Jheri juice dripped on the bark and it fused itself.

He be gluing it.

On them Bees Lancemac, where's MY cutting?

I want my BRT to be from Nashua.

Trade you a pot!

[Forsoothe!]

Lance! Lookie here, more of the same. The tree is exploding with growth. How's that miniature two-trunker of yours doing?

[leatherback]

And.. Another year of trunk diameter lost!

 

[LanceMac10]

Please explain.

[coh]

Gotta start bringing mine into the garage at night. Tonight expected to get down to the low/mid 40s. I know I ain't ready for it and I don't think the BRT is either! Especially since it was repotted only a few weeks ago.

Yes, not a fan of this stage with tropical plants....squeeze the week or two or just bring it in.

I'm sure my location is more urban than your area so I have a little buffer with the denser population/buildings.

Some of these in the garden are a bit heavy, so we lean towards the extra sunlight!

I leave my larger ficuses (microcarpa types) out until it gets below 40, though one of them was also repotted recently so...the back's gonna get a workout.

 

[leatherback]

Ohw.. I do hope we get another month or so!
Its september. A whole indian summer to arrive!

It's become a bit of a "pick things up and put them down" existence, hasn't it?
