Default Re: Overwintering Basjoo
it's called Vivax and you should run from it as fast as you can or it will catch you
They raise it for lumber in Japan.
It took it a while to get going but now it will shoot up runners 1-1/2" in diameter 35 feet from the nearest shoot. I'm afraid it might actually damage the foundation of the house and plan to kill it off
Bananas are much safer
