My guess is your basjoo will sprout pups, your ee's are goners, the Windmill will send new leaves hopefully. I kept my Chinese Fan Palm alive for 3 winters, but it finally succumbed the winter of 2008-2009. I just don't think they are hardy enough for a zone 7 or less (unless you build an enclosure and heat with heat tape or xmas lights- too much work for me). (Sometime even with spear pull it survives, but rarely). Good luck.

"If by a liberal, they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind; someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions; someone who cares about the welfare of the people, their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, their civil liberties; someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicion that grips us; that is what they meant by a liberal, I am proud to be a liberal."
