JFK

Can't say it got that cold here this year, but we did have a week or so where it was dipping into the 20 every night and plenty of nights in the 30's. I used just a few inches of mulch and only lost a couple leaves on my basjoos. Strange thing is they continued to grow between every cold snap and they are taller right now than they were in the fall. They are planted against my house, so they get shelter and and some radiant heat, but no formal protection. There are bananas all over my neighborhood and the taller ones that stick above the roof lines of houses got hit much harder than mine that stand only about 5 feet tall....so the protection from the house had to go a long way.
