Louise, that's xactly what I'm doing. Going out there in short intervals. . Nanners? I have had a Basjoo in the ground and wintered over in the basement. For winter, I fashioned a laundry basket with leaves, mulched if first. Planted close to the foundation on south. It needs warmth to grow so it takes forever to wake up in spring. It didn't really grow back very well so I guess I didn't mulch well enough (used the basket on a hydrangea or something) and it didn't come back the next spring. So THIS year, there I am on my nursery tour vaca and see the most beautiful Ensete... for a bargain price......of course it came home with me, I AM a HOTTIE, I can't pass up a bargain and I hadn't seen them in MY area... I also got another one, can't remember the name. lol So, to make a long story EVEN longer... :) I purchased them both, thinking [I'm NOT wintering them over, I'll just swap them or send out for postage]-Right!! lol I love them both, it's ONLY 2 more pots to haul in, right? I have the extra lighting and I can add another, if necessary.. probably have to ANYWAY with all the new brugs and hibs, ETC ;) I've..ehem..acquired this year :)
