I brought this guy indoors when the temps got cold. He loved it outside and thrived!
He did "ok" for a few months inside, but the leaves started getting dark/dead spots on them and they eventually fall off.
I don't know if there's any hope for the little guy. I had thought about possibly cutting him down to about 2" from the soil and see if some new growth appears, but I'm afraid he will kick the bucket.
It sits on my kitchen island and gets a lot of artificial light, and gets watered when the soil is dry down 2”.
Anyone have any recommendations on how to get him to live until spring hits and I can put him back outside.??? I water it

It’s dropping leaves because the soil is staying moist for too long and it’s not getting enough light. It doesn’t have the ability to replace those leaves down lower right now, but might if you cut it back and increase light.
Keep experimenting with it if your goal is to have a houseplant. Don’t expect it to ever bear edible fruit.
