Re: Overwintering strategies.
Thanks, Jeremy. I have the freeze pruf, and will be spraying the in-ground plants, before covering. I have been covering the basjoos, and wintering them in the ground for several years now, and never lost any. I will cut the leaves off when they dry, and then wrap them. The only things I cut off are the dry leaves, and I save just about all of the p-stem, not just a couple of feet. So far, we have had one night of light frost - no freezes.
I am not digging anything up to take inside. The cold-sensitive bananas, and other tropical plants, are inside, in their pots, and growing. The in-ground basjoos will be wrapped, and covered, where they are. The only other things going inside are the basjoos which are in pots. I will shake them out of their pots, and store them dry and dormant, in a cool basement.
