Here is one of my Basjoos, in the ground, on Dec. 4.

Some of the leaves got broken, but that was from the weight of the snow, during the freak storm we had on Oct, 29, and not from the cold.
I am amazed that you have not gotten frost yet. I live almost directly east of you, about 90 miles or so. The ocean must have more effect than we realize since we have had multiple nights with some temps getting as low as 26 degrees. I've had my basjoos covered for some time now.
