How cold can orinoco and basjoo pseudostems take? Mine were looking mighty unhappy in the house so I planted them in the ground yesterday since it was 85 degrees out and my soil temperature was up to 60. Looks like we could see upper 20s for lows this upcoming weekend.

Daytime temperatures will get back above freezing.

They are approximately 3 feet tall at the moment.

If they won't be ok with those temperatures what is a quick and easy way to protect them at night to withstand those temperatures? Don't want to dig them back out now. LOL.

Last frost date is April 26 here so I don't have much to go.
