Here's my Basjoo winterization project, After a few visits from Jack Frost.

The corms looked a little shallow so I added some soil.

Sadly removing most of the leaves

Putting the cage structure in place then mulching

I filled the rest of the cage with straw

Then finally tarping it all up and securing it to the ground

I hope this experiment yields me a larger plant next summer. If not I have a few back-ups in the house if this is a failure.

Thanks for viewing!

This is open for critique also.
