own a chineese elm and it has yet to loose all of is leaves.
Should I cut them off or just let it be?
Jordan:

If the tree has been exposed to several nights of frost, it should have lost
its leaves by now.
I am presuming that you are growing in a region where the ambient temperature
is in the 30s and 40s F.

If the tree has not been exposed to frost and is being maintained in an
environment where the temperature is in the 50s, it is unlikely to enter into a
true dormancy period.

Under what conditions is the tree being grown (region, current temperature,
inside/outside, etc.).

Cordially,
