basjoos are typically mulched and covered for winter in areas that you get snow on the ground or get a lot of hard freezes.
other varieties require different things. me I expect growth all winter long, so I mulch about a foot around the base, leave the old leaves on except I cut the cigar leaf off when hit by a frost or freeze. new leaves have a lot of trouble growing thru a cigar leaf that has been killed by the cold.
