Indian Bean Tree -

I bought an Indian bean tree in mid summer but, as I decided to reorganise the garden slightly, it has never got planted. Will it be ok to live in its large pot until it can be planted next spring or should I plant it now before the winter sets in? Many thanks.

It'll be absolutely fine. I grew the lime green variety in a large tub and just cut it back to ground level each year. They won't flower but you get massive, exotic leaves.

That's great news, thanks Badfish, another job I can put off until next year!

Insulate the tub if we get a harsh winter as the roots could be killed by the frosts
