Hi Kiwi, Hey you were one of the first to interest me in Brugs.!! My Frosty is alive and hopefully will be a very nice tree this year. I kept it alive in soil and it is about 6 1/2 feet tall. I've learned a lot since then and I love these plants. Thanks for getting my interest going !!
I live real close to you, in Adrian!

I've got Star Jasmine and a number of Passionflowers that I move in and outside as the weather permits.

Kiwi's, both hardy and fuzzy (that I also move in and out). Bay Laurel tree, 2 small Meyer Lemons that I am overdue to repot.

If I had the room I'd try the basjoo, but I think I'm going to research bamboo instead.

I have a Musa Basjoo, But I didn't protect it really at all. They are supposidly root hardy to -2F, and we didn't see that this winter. Im still waiting for it to pop up. I think the roots are rotted though, so I'm not sure. I heard a huge pile of pine needles is the best for protection, and I didn't do that.
I also have a sabal minor, which did just fine this winter, and a Windmill Palm, which is fine, but I requires a good deal of protection (fabric and rope lights), for about two months. I also have an agave harvardiana which is perfectly fine with no protection (only from snow) and my Yucca Thompsoniana and Rostrata are both fine.
Theirs a huge range of things to try in the Midwest, you all should look into it.
