Thanks for the advice everyone. I think I will dig it up and pot it for the winter seems like the best thing to do considering I live in a zone 5b where the winter would only put more stress on it (even in the palm put) and if it comes back to a good healthy state I will put it in the ground next ...

Just wait, they get huge under the right conditions. Are you going to keep it in the ground overwinter? I am going to keep it in the ground for the winter (with some winter protection of course). Hope it survives. It's a beautiful plant! What zone are you, where do you live?? I'm 7a (Southern New ...
