Re: The Frost
If you are going to store them bare root at temps below 60, you can just remove the leaves (you can leave 1) and lay them in a cool dark place (garage, basement, crawl space is best). Keep them dry.
If you are like us and may have mid 20s or even upper teens for lows between warm spells of 70 to 80, a container works well so that you can move them inside for the cold spells, but still keep the water level low.
Depending on the variety, you can protect them inground to get the pseudostem to survive temps in the mid 20s.
