Next year they all go and stay in the ground. I agree basjoo is fine protected.

I had it shipped with a late start and wanted it to become a little more established before I tried overwintering anything. I also wanted to leave the leaves for a head start towards a monster next year.

I plan to overwinter the basjoo sikkemensis and lasiocarpa in the ground next year. I have so many now actually I think I will experiment with similar microclimates and maybe 1 planted a foot deeper than the rest side by side, or maybe different forms of protection.
