I have a little mango that I started from seed last year. It's done quite well but has never had more than four leaves at a time. It was over-watered this summer after it was re-potted and I managed to save it but it's main leaves went brown and fell off after two new leaves grew. New growth started after that but we had a bit of a cold spell and the new-main-leaves went brown and the new growth fell off. Now it's the end of summer and about to get really cold [I live in Ottawa] so its "inside time" will start - I've been reading up on how to trim back the leaves to encourage new foliage growth but I wanted to double-check here to see if I was correct in thinking I should chop the top off... any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

1. @goodground: They're supposed to be watered every second day in the summer, this was it's dry-day :] as for the leaves - once they're brown they're useless?

2. @stanofh: Yes, I hadn't thought of putting it under lights yet - it seemed to like being in natural light all last summer... I'll try that for sure.
