I have a limited experience. We had snow that didn't melt for 4 days, and a temp that hovered at 28% for a few nights. Angulatas got 100% leaf burn. Can't recommend them in any zone that gets frosts. I had just a few Debaoensis plants out(only suncreen overhead), and they got 100% leaf burn, though, the inner margin of the leaf is still alive. I expect they'll recover. Two debaoensis plants on front porch are perfectly well. Panzhia's had no problem. Surprisingly, C. petreas suffered no burn, but they did have screen cloth, which gave them some protection.
I was surprised that C. Schezhuanensis seedlings sufferred no burn.(Supposedly a taiwaniana look alike.)
But Iv'e rambled on too long already..
