Ellen:
I had E. pole-evansii in the ground for two winters at the old location
and two winters at the new location, both solid zone 6 locations. That
said, I don't believe we have gone below 6-7°F in those winters, so they
have not been tested through our worst case scenario. I use at least 2"
of coarse wood mulch.

Kelly, are you really overwintering pole-evansii outside? I'm going to set
some of those out this year and see how it goes.
