Scijox,
At this time last summer I planted a basjoo. I gave it winter protection and it did'nt make it. I don't think its roots were established enough. It got to be a nice size, but not nearly as big as the basjoo I have in ground now.
This one here has been in the ground since April. And I'am bound and determined that it will make it through this years
brutal midwest winter!
Here's another shot of her. I don't hardly ever watch t.v. anymore because of those structures across the street. They are filled to the gills with African people. Between them and my plants...I don't know which one is the better show cuz I trip off of BOTH!!! LOL
Here's a basjoo baby to the right of the mama just emerging.
IMHO I'd say to leave it in the pot and plant it out next spring.
Patience is Virtue......................................
Hope this helps. Lynn
