Dave - Frost or not frost?

Sorry as a Floridian to keep asking this question....but it makes a big difference down here as to where we should plant something.

I have a small potted D. madagascariensis (maybe 3.5 ft high) that I left outside all winter.  I did not see any damage at 34F.

I have one in the ground for its second winter. I put much around its growing point and leave the fronds exposed. I have seen some browing to the leaves at 32 with no frost and after the 2nd night with frost they look the same. No worse

Fill it up with good red wine,

And I'm-a chewin' on a honeysuckle vine.
