Hello from Maryland. I'm sure you can grow Basjoo in PA. How long has it been in the ground? I suggest that if it isn't since spring started, you pot it up and bring it inside for the first winter. From then on a hefty mulching in the fall (I use straw and hardwood mulch) will allow them to come back again each spring. They will die back to the ground after frost though, but don't worry, he'll be back.
