Musa Basjoo I know from first hand is hardy with out even mulching. I grew them for five years in Ohio with no protection what so ever,I would just cut them down. I even have one growing in a pot that is clay soil HAHA.

Its pushing it but All the others might be fine if they are out of the wind and up against a house. Also if they are wrapped up and kept dry. Its always a good idea to save a pup from each plant you try cause one winter will be different then the next. Plus members need to remember size of the plant and age will factor in too. A young small plant will not enjoy cold snaps for long periods or soil being to wet. Plus you can't really trust 100% what you read online from vendors,its more trial and error then anything else. I have had people tell me when I first started out working on my camaro years ago,that I need this part and that for my Supercharged engine to run right. Well come to find out some parts I didn't need and was able to resell them.
