Best of luck! I have never attempted to grow Bijao outside of the ground, but I can imagine that it would fill even a large pot rather quickly given its growth rate. However, a zone 9 winter shouldn't be enough to kill Bijao in the ground as long as you mulch it well - you don't routinely get snow, do you?
