I'm also in zone 6(a). I planted 2 gallon size basjoo in early May, my new puppy promptly trampled one totally cutting the entire visible growing portion off. It finally came back and ended up at about 30" including the tallest leaf. I chose to pot that up and brought it in last week. I didn't think it would have had enough top and root growth to sustain it during the coldest parts of the winter. The other grew to about 5' to the top of the highest growing leaf and I'm going to leave it out with straw bale/ leaf mulch under plastic.
