I checked mine the other day. First year in the ground last year. In the fall I cut the leaves off leaving me with about 4.5' of pstem. Enclosed it in chicken wire. Filled it with leaves & straw. Wrapped it with a tarp. When I dismantled everything I was left with a 4 inch pstem. Basically had to cut it to the ground. The base is still solid so I am hoping that it made it through our cold winter. This is my first nana. I have 4 ice cream pups started indoors this past winter that I can't wait to get in the ground this year. I'm hooked!!!
