I'm west, but probably colder in southwest WI. I'm a warm 4 or a cold 5 here, depending on the year. I've got 2 Basjoos that will go in the ground as soon as i can get them out there (early May? late April?). They aren't that big and are inside right now. I plan on digging them up in the fall, since are low temp usually is around -20F every few years. I've got a nice sunny spot all picked out for them
I plan on journaling there growth.
