Special plant?

here is one of my plants that I thought would be interesting to share. this is a Geranium. which was giving to me by someone named Evelyn from Dallas,WI where she is a neighbor of my Grandparents. I believe this plant is at least 20 years old, bark has developed on the lower parts of the plant, and instead of being the shape of a bush, it has more of a small tree shape. what she would do is hang them from her garage in the winter and them plant them back outdoors in the summer! this year I’m going to try to overwinter it in the house, instead of drying them out because Last year I lost one.
