Thank you very much in advance!

Well, if your nights are not as long as mine and the frost lasts much shorter + the following day is warmer than what I had in October frostorama, it will survive. Or all my nana pseudostems survived. However the leaves were burnt beyond recognition.
If there is not an extreme, sudden cold spell with lots of water, it should do just fine. Pseudostem survives much more drastic temps than leaves, circa 2 or 3 degrees less than leaves.
As I've said, I would save a pup as well.
Ice Cream is one of the hardier varieties from what I've read on the wiki, so it shouldn't be a great problem. Although 6' isn't that much for an IC baby.
