Question
I have a tree with a braided trunk. it is about 4 feet high with small green leaves  that branch out from each part of the braid at the top of the trunk. can you tell me what the name of this tree is? It is loosing leaves on the back part of the tree on the thinner part of the braid & I don't know how to find out what to do since I don't know what kind of tree it is.

Answer
From that discription I can not tell what tree this is. Here is a web link that may help: http://www.bachmans.com/tipsheets/indoor_plants/LargePlantsandIndoorTrees.cfm
If you can send me a picture I should be able to ID it. Email address is [email protected]
