Default first spring questions

Hi Folks,

First post but I've been lurking for a while.
I got the banana bug last year and put in several musa basjoo that have started pushing out new growth in the last week.
I also put in 2 Cali Golds and 2 Goldfinger both of which are supposed to be somewhat cold hardy. They haven't shown any signs of life yet but the p-stems look nice and solid. My question is how good an indication is that they will be ok?
We had a nasty winter with lows down to the high single digits F but I had em mulched real well with a tarp over em. The forcast looks like we are out of the woods and after a few more days with highs in the 60's it looks like 70's till summer.
I'll take a stab at posting some pics.

basjoo from a large pup someone gave me


basjoo from a 4" pot purchased on ebay


one of the others I got off ebay, not sure which
