I think excess moisture and prolonged cool temperatures would be more problamatic than the ultimate low. I know it can get quite cold in Arizona where these grow. It will warm up quickly after a dip in temperature and then be sunny and dry in Arizona.

I agree....cold duration will be key. A very quick drop to 15F may produce less damage than a drop to 25F for 8 hours. I'm impressed with the ones I have. I germinated them in 1992 or so and I keep them in the darkish garage all winter (Nov through March). All that dark really doesn't harm them too much......kinda surprised.
