It's not native to North America, but has been naturalized in Florida. I used to grow a bunch in South Carolina since they have mild winters, and out in Colorado, but I do know the temps up here gets colder.
As a last resort, like you mentioned, I was thinking of keeping them at 6-8 feet inside my house. Maybe once I get my greenhouse up I can keep them in there.
Good For You.
This is regarding FL, not NH. This invasiveness is primarily in tropical regions. It’s also used a lot in tropical regions to create bio fuel, which only increases the invasiveness in those areas.
Uh-huh, and what happens if you manage to breed a winterized version?
Let's not introduce a non-native species to the area.
It’s highly unlikely it will get anywhere near close to what is going on in FL because of the temps up here.
Fuck you no.
Fuck you right back 🖕🏻couldn’t have just said no???
Not when there is an invasive species mentioned, rated at highly invasive? Just say no, man.
I’m sure your a big fucking joy to be around. It’s also rated as potentially, not highly.
Why would you deliberately bring a non native and likely invasive plant into the state?
Don't those tend to die off in the winter?
Not if you winterize them. I've seen them growing up in Canada.
Not sure why you would want to plant something highly invasive that could potentially harm things that are native? Could you explain your reasoning?

It's not native, so I would maybe keep it as a house plant. But never would I plant one outside.
