Default Re: Do you think it's safe to transplant my basjoo outside now? (Zone 6)

Just wondering - can you explain the reason for waiting until the temperature is above freezing? Musa basjoo is hardy to well below freezing, but is it just the shock of changing from a warm temperature to a cold one the problem? Will the cold temps set it back a bit? I had my Dwarf Orinoco inside all winter, and we have been having very warm weather lately, so I put it outside. The low temps have been about 5C or so, and it is growing well. The next few days might dip below freezing, so should I bring it in?
