A little bit of wind protection goes a long ways too. Plants up against the house, against and/or below the fence line, behind a big tree that acts like a wind screen, etc. do way better than exposed.
raja puri has p-stems near the size of basketballs. very cold hardy also. never lost one, i think, from frosts or freezes. or wind.
