Basjoo will be fine. Had them for years in Ohio and always cut them abck and the frost got them and never mulched them and they always came right back. I was in zone 5 with winters of zone 4 sometimes. I'm located a few miles from the ocean and have the Cape Fear river on the other side. Living in a apartment right now,so all mine are in my storage closet yet one Basjoo. Left it potted up on our porch. 3rd floor and facing sunset and it has pushed out leaves several times and they got burned. Then now it has a left coming out. Anytime it gets above 40* they will start to grow. Yes wait until april once the night temps are in the 50's steady. Hope my nanners all make it since they all look dry. Storage unit feeds off the wall heat from the house. But you never want to water them if dry stored.
