At that size, I'd dig up and keep it growing indoors. It's awfully small to try to overwinter in the ground and too small to overwinter dormant as well. Not too sure how well basjoo overwinters in zone 7, but it's best to wait till your plants are large and well-established before trying to do such experimentation.

Just watch carefully for spider mites during the colder seasons....they love bananas.
