The secret is to water sparingly and do not water indoors or the roots
could suffer
when it is returned outside. Make sure that it is well watered just
before bringing in.

Thanks to all. What is the science behind it suffering outside if its
been watered indoors please?

1) The tree will be in a dormant state and there is the danger that indoor
watering will encourage new growth.
2) Once returned outside, a soggy rootball will suffer with frosty
conditions to a greater extent than a drier one.

That's my "science" theories anyway.(:-)
Perhaps others would put different theories forward (:-(

This pic of it was taken a few days ago.

Nice tree, ... but *surely* those aren't weeds in your gravelly bit! :~)
Tsk tsk
