If your plants are small I would go with digging them and storing somewhere.If they are big try wrapping with plastic and heavy mulch.orinoco,goldfinger,bordelon shouldnt need much they do well here.my neighbors get fruit every year from there orinocos with no protection,in spring they cut the top off and the new growth starts there.
