My local high-end nursery happens to have a Mysore in a 25 gallon pot that has about a good 5 feet of p-stem and some pups. Would it be ok to get it now (or maybe within a few weeks) and just let it grow in the container during the winter or should I wait until spring? Night temps have fallen into the mid to upper forties already. I'm afraid somebody might buy it! I hope someone hasn't bought it already...

By the way, what is more wind resistant, Mysore or Ice Cream?
