man you ought to plant your basjoo out and leave them like I do and save your space for overwintering tropicals. I'm in 5 zone too. Divide that big one up this spring and plant each one a foot deeper than it was originally growing. Then backfill the hole with soil and let them grow. then I just leave them alone and let them freeze down in the winter. I think I've lost one since I started doing that 3 years ago, and something ate it over winter.
