Only concern I have is that living in Charlotte, you should have already had the basjoos to return... What kind of soil were they planted in? The first thing that came to mind is that the soil you planted them in was not amended to aid in drainage. If they sat all winter in red clay like alot of Charlotte soil is, like mine here in SE TN, they may have rotted. I, personally, would dig them up and see if they are still alive. The bordelon probably will not come back for you if the basjoos did not. I am trying my luck this winter with bordelon and HEAVY mulch, but I am not holding out much hope for them... Best of luck and make sure you amend your soil to help with drainage, if you haven't already...
