Thanks for all of the input. I planned on moving my basjoos anyway...so I'd wondered about moving them, and wintering them, or keeping them inside, then moving them in the spring. Has anyone ever put hay bales around them? Ok, now a lot of people woudln't have access to hay bales like I do...but I happen to have some that just aren't great quality for feeding....they're more landscape hay type, and I thought if I put hay bales over the ground and squished the p-stems in between a couple, that might do the trick. Then cover the whole thing with a tarp. Of course, hay bales are compressed...and a lot of people use them to insulate the skirting on trailer homes and such...so I figured they might work even better than mulch! Thoughts?

Also...should anyone see this, I have a maurelii, which obviously needs to be brought in. At what temp? We have some lows in the 40's coming up the next couple of nights, then up to the 50's for nightime temps....should I start thinking about digging it up yet or no? Our highs will still be upper 60's a couple days, but typically upper 70's.
