How can I save a frosted rubber tree plant?

A friend moved to Germany and her son put her rubber tree plant outside and it got frosted. What can I do to save it?

Answer #1

I had something similar happen to a 3’ tall rubber tree I had. While moving it got left outside too long. In my case the plant survived but all the existing leaves fell off. New leaves unfolded but it had a long bare trunk after that. A few friends suggested air layering it; that probably would have got it looking good again but I ended up throwing it out.
