I have a couple of basjoo that should be close to fruiting,so I decided to try to over winter them and a queen palm.
I knew I had to build a greenhouse,so I decided to use straw bales as a base around the greenhouse.
Look and comment on what you think.
I have strung Xmas lights around all plants and heating pipe tape with thermostats and a electric oil filled heater inside there as a back up,just in case.

And here is where I'm overwintering the ones I had to dig up and bring inisde as there were just too big to try this way.

The Orinoco is 12ft tall to where I had to cut the leaves off.
