I had bought a japanese hornbeam from the philadelphia flower show in early
march... it was already budding out.. so i kept it inside... since the
nighttime temps around here wiere still dipping into the low 30's and 20's.
It leafed out inside and was doing fine by the window. I put it outside
when the daytime temperatures would get into the 50's and 60's. and would
bring it inside at night. but lately we've had a cold snap.. and i brought
it back inside. The leaves are starting to look unhealthy... some of them
wilting slightly.. and gettting some brown/black edges. for the next
week... the nighttime temperatures are supposed to be in the high 30's and
40's.... hopefully they will stay that this time and i can leave it out.

my question.. should i have left it out from the beginning? has moving the
tree in and out ... put too much stress on the foliage... and will the tree
put out a new set of leaves if these die??
