I use lots of padding to protect the tines. Bubble wrap and ingenuity!!! Thanks for the interest!

will they live in cold weather ? I live in northern Indiana..Just a mile from Mich state line...also do they have to be dug up in the winter...will you send instructions on how to care for it and how to plant it ? F&B

Hi there. If you plant early in the spring so the roots can take hold before freezing temps arrive. They will root quite easily in a spot that gets good direct sun. Each year in the winter they go dormant. When the spring arrives cut back the dead pads and new growth will start again.
Hope this helps!
