None. Leaves fried of course, but the psudeostem came through. The mat is planted next to a cement patio as well as alongside a brick house. Both I presume helped with residual heat during the brief few hours the temps were below freezing. Got lucky I guess.
The cold did kill my Cavendish to the ground even though that one I covered with blankets and a cardboard box to trap residual ground heat (worked the first few nights and then the wind knocked the box off overnight).
