I love Castor Bean plants!! If your winter temps are below freezing more than not, then you'll love this tip! When it's time for fall clean-up, instead of fighting with those humongous roots, just "top" the plant down to a 2-3' bare stem. In the spring, after the ground thaws, pull the stems and roots out of the ground, using only your gloved hands.
