| I have 3 brugs that were sent to me last year by a wonderful lady named LAURA. I overwintered them in their pots and they did ok.
Now I'm trying to decide if I should plant them in ground...or in pots. I have space for them in the ground...but do I cut them back and bring them in the fall? Is there that much of a difference between pot and ground ?? If I plant them in ground....how deep do they like to go down ?? |

| Jean, you will have better results if you plant them right in the ground and then dig them up and put them back in pots in the fall. I have family in Lunenburg and they do their 2 that way, as I do with my 40 plants here in Ontario. Just be sure to lift them before you get a frost. |

| Thank you Ruth Ann... I have them planted and they are doing wonderful..:) I will do as you stated above....thank you soooooooooooo much. |

| You are most welcome. You can really prune the roots when you dig them up for storage in the fall. I take 6 foot plants and dig only big enough to fit a 3 gallon pot. I cut them down to a 10 " stump and store them dormant in a cool dark place and only five about 1/2 cup of water each month.
