Default Re: how far apart should they be??

Three years ago when I first planted my basjoo, I had three one gallon containers and planted them roughly 4 feet apart. They have pretty much filled in the spaces and I have added MANY other understory plants. I was going more for the "dense" look and think I finally arrived at that look last summer. After this past weeks temps, all my basjoo's pstems were badly damaged and are currently collapsing. I guess they will have to start at ground level this spring. I had pstems ranging in height from a couple of feet to around 10-12'. Was hoping to start with about 4' of pstem at least this coming spring. OH, WELL!!!!
