Basil in Winter

Question

Do I dig up my basil or cut back below leaves for winter?

Answer 1

Basil is a rather short lived annual. You can expect it only to survive the summer and after that it will get woody. It is best to start a new plant for winter to grow indoors (so, yes, you will need to grow it indoors for winter.)
