Ben,
I had not seen that particular site before and will study it in more detail, later... Like Ron said, main thing is to keep the growth spear as dry as possible. All I can say is to try one and depending on your level of commitment to protection, you should have some level of success... One other thing that has helped me in the past is to pray for MILD winters...
BTW, here are a couple of fortunei's that I planted in spring of '05 and have never had any type of protection in my 7b...



Here they are in one of our few snow events:


Good luck, Buddy...
