I have a Norfolk Pine Tree that is over 20 years old. I keep it on my back porch all year long, except for when it gets below 40 degrees. Then I bring it into the house or garage to keep it from freezing. I so want to keep the tree because it has alot of sentimental value, but I am not sure what to do. It doesn't seem to be thriving anymore. I have it planted in a deep terra cotta pot but there doesn't appear to be any new growth on it for a long time. Also, all the bottom branches are gone and the tree has only about 10 branches all at the top. Is there anyway I could cut it and root it. I am open for any and all suggestions to help me save this tree. Thank you very much.

Take some pictures of the tree and post them here. Search for instructions. My first thought is root bound. Is that a possibility? What has been your fertilization program?

Dear Tony, my husband and I are pretty sure the tree is rootbound. I bought a larger (wider) container and am going to replant the tree. Also, I have used fish emulsion but to be honest with you, I haven't done it recently. I'm not sure how to post a photo here.
