Franco - it looks beautiful! Build it a "hoop house" with PVC and plastic for the winter? Invest in lots of mulch, too.

You might lose the whole top growth if it gets too cold, but as long as the root doesn't freeze, it will come back better than ever once the weather warms up. So lots of mulch over the base, and hope the greenhouse effect keeps it warm enough to survive.

Pretty sure it will be too big to pot up and bring indoors by fall. Unless you want to join Drew in learning how to operate a forklift and a crane.
