mikeod, redwitch,
Thanks for sharing your experiences. I happy to hear that there are ways to help them survive.
I was reading on the web how an established BV's tap root grows very deep and that even when you try to kill it, it can sometimes grow back. I assume "established" is the key word meaning 10 -15 years!
I think I will try a potted one first. My only concern with potted plants is keeping them well watered, but from what I read BVs like neglect -- I think I can do that
