Default Re: should I dig it now?

Ensetes are better to overwinter in the dry and dark as possible, in my personal experience. As you can see in the above link, once they are too tall to stand upright, it will begin to grow "sideways". I have tried to overwinter dry and in pot, but the ones stored in the dry like in the link, out performed the ones that I tried to overwinter in a pot. Just my personal experience, for what it worth. BTW, I had a couple that I stored in the dry standing erect and one or two lying on the ground. The ones on the ground turned on me and the ones stored upright took off in the right orientation...
The gentleman in Germany sure did do a great job with his!!! Thanks for sharing the link!!!
