Re: Trex
Will, be warned these are vigorous. I can't advise on keeping them in pots as I just kill them but they are fast, this is mine at 2 years old http://gardenjot.com/garden/photo/1/149 ... le-Hideout.
Last winter has killed it back to the ground and I now have about 40 , it has also escaped the raised bed it was in so it's safe to say it needs room .

Re: Trex
Well to answer the questions, feed; I don't and protect; I don't. This last winter saw it's complete demise so I'm starting again from the ground, I'll have to get some pictures to try and watch it's returncallin wrote:Hi grub,
Your Trex is HUGE!!! It's not a trex anymore it's a GODZILLA.

Do you protect it in winter?
Cheers
