If I remember, the first few years the plant died back to the ground. 
After that, maybe part of the top died and part survived, with some new 
shoots from the ground.

I've never seen any evidence even of flowering. I'm not sure what kind 
of enclosure would make any difference. It might protect the plant from 
wind and sun but not from temperature. It was -1 degree the other night 
here! It would be the same temperature inside any enclosure unless I had 
supplemental heat.

Regards,

Jay
