I have never wrapped or protected my Basjoo's and they always come through each year even when sometimes like[2010] they are cut to the ground.
This year so far they are only wind damaged and the leaves are still brushing the top floor gutter on my house.
The ones in St denys palm garden are the same as mine and are only wind damaged.
Last winter only the leaves collapsed in the cold but the stems were undamaged.
I would rather give more serieus protection to a Phoenix canariensis_CIDP or any other palm tree that needs it as palm trees are so expensive to replace.
Any pot plants should of course go under cover during the cold snap.
