I have read in a few places that DC do not store bare root or will not go dormant. I have a green house that never gets below 35 degrees in winter, and usually stays at least 45F or 50F most of the time. What would be the best way to store DC in this greenhouse, potted, bare root, etc., or is it not possible at that temperature? Also, if potted, can you cut the stem down to a couple of feet like you do a Basjoo, to save room? Basically a potted, chopped off pseudostem.
