For most all banana varieties, I go by the low 40's rule. I bring them in or protect them (if planted) when temps dip into the 30's (and definitely if frost is predicted). I'm not sure what Basjoo can tolerate without protection. It being as hardy as it is leads me to believe it could handle more than most, but then again, it's only that hardy when protected....
