    im not sure..ive never seen one drop, but i have seen some that didnt ever drop and are the size of a softball-ish size..

    i know you can take a razor and just cut off a branch, like if you were trimming a tree outside and then glue it somewhere else..it might be tough since the close up real tight..

    IMO they tend to drop babies when they get too big,don't like where they are,or get stressed.Then you'll wish that they didn't do that.Unless you like kenya forrest.

    Usually for me it would get to about soft ball size then drop. You will want to trim it before it gets to that stage. When they drop everything gets blown around and you will have little trees everywhere its actually a big mess and a big PITA.

    Reach in there and push it around for a minute and it will drop some. But your going to wish for the days of old when it didn't drop new ones pretty soon because as Grinder37 said they tend to do it more the bigger they get and when that starts to happen trust me you will understand what I mean.
