I know nothing about Mysores and can only guess how they would react to climatic conditions in your area.
But here is some "sage" advice nevertheless: No matter if you buy it now or in spring, unless you want to make
it a one summer affair, you will have to solve the wintering problem anyway.

If I could get a banana, with red leaves here I would seriously consider buying it even now, even though I have
already covered my Basjoo for hibernation and we have experienced temps of -7^C (19^F) last night.

Good luck,
Olaf
