Michael -

I have crappy, rocky, nasty soil. Eveything I plant is usually something I prepare a bed for except my tomatoes and rhubarb. I want my little basjoo, who is now a foot + tall, to have a good start. But I am in zone 5 (thank GOD no colder) and worry about the warmth factor for the winters. Protection, yes, I am aware. But I was wondering if I should even go so far as to put a heater (very low wattage, just enough to keep the firgid air out, but still cold enough for him to stay dormant) in there with the poor thing. I plan to try and get him in the ground and was wondering about maybe planting him in a LARGE container in the ground .... like a sunken garbage can or a sunken tire pot. Has anyone tried something like that???
