I have a 5 year old elm of an unknown variety and a ginkgo.
These have been grown with great success in Nebraska which is USDA Zone 5a.
I am now moving to Texas in an area designated as being Zone 8a by the USDA.
So the big question is, what do I do with these trees, migrating them from solid winters to a state that barely has a winter worth mentioning?
They've been over wintered outside every season.
They've essentially been kept at temps under 30 and sometimes in the teens for weeks at a time.
Am I looking at purchasing a small freezer and sticking them in there for 2-3 months at a time?
What would you do?
