Hi Angie,

here I go: "could'a/ would'a/ should'a", but I had a similar dilemma when deciding what to do with my
Basjoo late in the season, when there was a real potential for night frosts. Only my Basjoo was in a pot
already crowning a pot pyramid and since I did not have any indoor space to keep it growing, and the
mother plant wintered quite successfully in the ground (with lots of mulching), I decided that I
should put in in the ground before the winter's onset.

I did just that and the plant appears to be quite happy with it.

The details of the story are here:
Experience in deep planting Basjoo?

and here: basjoo size for leaving outside?

The upshot is that IMOEO you could have planted your Basjoo in their designated location without any problems.
