In your zone I would probably pot/dig it up. Cut it to at least a foot above the corm if you are storing it bare root. In-ground edible varieties are killed if the ground freezes. I have heard of people getting away with overwintering basjoo in the ground with insulation in zones similar to yours, but not an edible variety. Keep in mind that it is a larger variety and it may not do as well in a container as a dwarf variety.

Also make sure you get the real deal unless you want a Namwah. If it is a tissue culture from a big box store or nursery, it is probably a Namwah. Talk to some of the growers on here, a lot of us have it!
