>I didn't kill them, jut re-potted and took them indoors.  Am in Zone 6b 
(Jersey shore).  Was just wondering if they can survive the winter outside.  
They are in good potting soil in a cement planter.

Venture a wild guess... it freezes there.
Roots I THINK won't take a FULL freeze, but a BIG planter might not freeze to
the core.

On rarefruit we have considered at some length roots warmed by elec cable,
6w/ft.  Tomatoes are known for "root zone warmth" love.  Little else we can
discover.  y
You could hedge your bet for a short term hard feeze with encasing the pot
with a garbage bag, even the lower half with bubble-wrpa fir packing or even
fiberglass and a garbage bag to keep it dry.  I'd still bring a sprig in
anyway.
