Default Re: first spring questions

I guess the way I typed that didn't make sense
it's the ensete I don't think can take it outside
I'm confident the basjoo can take anything Carolina can throw at it
I had a Cali-gold and a Goldfinger last year, both supposed to be somewhat cold tolerant, and neither made it even heavily mulched but they were first year plants and we got to single digits F once or twice. still got about 5 feet

for the ensete I've been inspired by this guy
