Hello everybody!
In a few months when it gets cold for real I will be having a dilemma. Should I leave the basjoo in the ground, should I dig it up storing it dormant in my basement or should I try keeping it growing inside?? Its pseudo-stem is about 70cm (2' 3") with a diameter of 7cm (3") and has two small pups just emerging from the ground. I might upload some photos later.

I'm afraid that it might be to small to survive the winter and because it's the only specimen I have I really want it to survive. Last winter I tried to overwinter a sikkimensis inground but it was totally rotten as I unwrapped it. We had a minimum of about -15C (5F) last winter but normally it's around -5C (23F).

So what do you guys think? In the ground or inside?

Thanks!
