I had a question about my Ligustrum chinensis that I thought I would throw
out to the list. The thing is growing like a weed, but I am somewhat
concerned about it losing leaves.

Ligustrum chinensis is deciduous with an urge to be evergreen, but I wouldn't worry about it losing leaves. You should, however, find out if it is hardy in your region, and if so, put it outdoors.

Everyone: Thanks for the Bucida advice! I was able to calm the mind of a newbie. Here's my next question: Someone just bought a large fig with a "dead area". He hopes he can encourage the cambium to heal over the dead area. Now, we'll leave aside the
troubling question of what killed the dead area. I have no experience with large figs; my figs don't heal over cuts worth a damn; is it likely this tree will?
