You’re going to have to be more specific with your location (country state etc) and about the trees. For instance if they’re large and heavy, overwintering them could have different solutions depending on your winter climate

Right my bad i did not think of that.
So they are about 2 meters
Im from the netherlands so intermediate to cold winters. Would say heavy frost, rarely under the -5 as im in the south and my garden is in full sun, and my soil is brown clay
Hope the info plus pic helps

Height of the tree really has no bearing on collectibility. Trunk diameter at soil level is a better gauge. These don’t look all that large you can probably dig them up with a few roots (enough root mass to keep the tree stable upright) and mulch them into a garden bed for the winter.
