I grow one of these in michigan and its unreal how well its done. It goes in the ground after the last frost and back inside and bare rooted in the fall.

the root ball is so large its actually getting to large to muscle around to bring inside, Im not sure what I will do in the future.

I bring it inside with a dry rootball and I put it in a large garbage bag which basically keeps the floor clean but I leave the bag open so air can circulate and put it in a dark corner in the basement.

The plant throws at least 3 more leaves in this dormant state which blows my mind and with the lack of light the leaves are white.

Its an awesome plant.
