Thanks Bryan.

Timmko, he left it in the ground the first year. That first winter he cut the bottom out of an old plastic trash can and slipped it over the plant. He filled it with dry leaves and then covered it in plastic. The clump was too big by the end of the second growing season so he had to start making an enclosure out of wire fencing or chicken wire.
