Hi All-

Had to recreate an account because I lost login and forgot what old old email I used.

Southern Indiana area.

I have a Basjoo, 2 growing years (2018 and 2019) where I just kept in the ground. At the first frost 2019 I dug up and stored them alive in our conditioned garage. They did nicely till Christmas and sort of went dormant from there on out. They pushed out 1 full leaf each then stopped, likely due to lack of watering.

I dug up because they were getting crowded and have someone that wants some for their pool area.

They have been acclimated for about a business week now in normal Spring time conditions for our area.

What is the best way and time to stick these into the soil?


Hopefully the picture works.

After last frost..

Check you 10 day weather forecast.....It does look good:)
You plants will tolerate cool weather but not a freeze or a frost at this tender stage.
