Thank you for honest answer.This is clarified. They will go to a friendly nursery that will take care of them and pay my widow if they should sell something.

I protect most broadleave trees either in a greenhouse or I put them at a protected spot in the garden. I have hundreds of trees and just not enough place in greenhouse. If I could, i would put all broadleave trees into greenhouse. There I have some frost protection - a bit under freezing. All conifers stay outside in my garden. We sometimes get minus 15 Celsius , but normally not lower than minus 12 Celsius. All trees get off the shelves on the ground. We do have snow often but usually it does not cover the trees for longer than a couple of days. It is NOT a good idea to over-protect scots pines, mugo pines and JWPs. They need a couple of cold months and dry out in greenhouses easily.@Walter Pall
If you don't mind answering a few questions?
Which species do you leave out on your benches all winter?
Do they typically remain buried in snow all winter?
What are the lowest temperatures that you experience during your winter and how much fluctuation to do you get.
The reason I ask is that I have debated with myself about leaving a few of my most cold hardy species out on the benches during the winter (scots pine, mugo pine and Japanese White Pine specifically). Then we get a few days of low temperatures in the ~15 degrees Farenheight for a few days with even colder wind chill temps and I question whether that would be safe for those trees in pots. We dont usually get snow that buries them for weeks here. It does happen but its pretty rare.
Thanks

Nice place to relax on that chair with a book. If you can avoid to start working on the trees.
That chair is a throne!Nice place to relax on that chair with a book. If you can avoid to start working on the trees.
Liking that red pot in the foreground -- it's fun to think of walking in your garden and finding the rare sparks of vivid color among all those handsome, more subtle pots -- I'll watch for that tree in other seasons!
