Hi Everyone,

I have 3 very nice healthy 5' plus well branched, Brugs growing in the ground. (all three are pink)
I'm Zone 5

I hate to see them just sit there and die, but have no idea how I could overwinter them without a greenhouse. I've tried bringing smaller one's into the house for winter, but they always end up infested with mealy bugs or something and besides these things are pretty big for my house.

Our garage ... if I could clean out a spot ... is attached, but the north and west sides are unprotected.

Any ideas?

There is a greenhouse down the road, but I doubt they rent out space ... they sell mostly annuals, and by spring all 4 greenhouse are completely full.

Thanks for any help,
Kathy
