For several years I overwintered my Chinese Elm without leaves at -1C/+5C (30F/41F). I forcibly removed the leaves every winter.
This year I was advised not to remove the leaves, but I'm afraid that due to the evaporation of moisture from the leaves, the branches will dry out, as the substrate freezes and the leaves require water.
Frequently in winter the temperature in the shelter drops to -1C (30F) and the ground freezes. Should I be afraid of this or can I leave it with the leaves?
