[IBC] My Chestnut is Poorly

Now it just sits on its window sill looking very sad. I can see no little green buds anywhere and bark on all its branches and trunk seems to be shrivelling. What can I do? I suspect, nothing. I don't know of an "indoor" tree called "chestnut." If you are writing of Castanea species, they are NOT indoor trees. I suspect you have come to the end of the long period of decline that an outdoor tree suffers when kept indoors. If you can scratch the bark somewhere on the trunk and still come up with some healthy-looking green cambium, there MAY be hope. But not if you keep it inside. Get it outside and let it feel fresh air and sunlight that isn't filtered through a pane of glass. If it is leafless, water ONLY when the soil feels dry. Good luck.
