I have a coprosma (mirror plant) which I bought last year..After the

off..I pruned a branch near the bottom and it was still green...Is it
likely to die?... I have now got it inside..I live in Kent uk..

Last winter one of mine did the same, dropped everything, but came
back into full leaf and growth by summer. (It's the apricot coloured one
and has survived other winters in the open garden unscathed, including
this one which is much colder than last)) A different one with dark red
leaves is looking a bit nipped. The rest are fine.

Warmth indoors will only stress it further IMO. I'd keep it in a
sheltered spot outside, or in a cold garage or unheated GH.

Thanks for all the help and advice..I will try to save it and let you know....solaara
