Re: first year basjoo, what to expect?
Frankie,
Last year I cut pups from the corm, planted them separate in the ground, and in less than 3 months I had 3 foot of P-stem and a crap-tonne of leaves. I didn't fertilize or do anything at all really other than throw it in a hole and cover with dirt.
I'm going to say with good sun and heat and all the TLC you're planning you could easily pull a 4 or 5 foot P-stem on a first year over the whole summer.
