It's not that hard to save the pseudostem. All it really takes is shrink wrapping them so that absolutely no moisture can get into them, then wrapping them up with some sort of a fence, and stuff leaf mulch in there.

The problem with my basjoos is that the psuedo-stem is already at 7ft and growing so it will require a super high fence as pseudo-stems get taller and taller.
