I used Sandy's bag method to over winter my basjoo's and it worked great. Saved all the psuedostems and have basjoos around 10 feet tall now. I have one that I didn't use bags on and it's coming up from the ground. It's only about 8" tall. Are they slow growing at first when they come up from the ground? Do they take off and really start growing fast? pics in mygallery
