Hi parkeey
How big is the basjoo in question?and where are you in kent?
If its big enough you should get away without protecting it at all.Mine do,but mine is a very large established clump which helps,lol
Anyway,if its still quite small,then I'd wait til the frosts take out its leaves,then wrap it in horticultural fleece.The chicken wire cage filed with straw isn't really all that necesary for Kent,unless of course you're in a frost hollow(are you?)
Or you could lift it if you if you wanted to play it really safe.
Take care
