First winter with my trees and kind of confused how to proceed with winter. I have some trees in an unheated garage. It is detached and air gets in all over. The pots will freeze in there if cold enough. I have the rest of my trees in a "greenhouse" in the backyard. It's more of a tent than a greenhouse and only protects from wind and rain. It will raise the temp during the day slightly but not at all at night. It does however raise the humidity significantly. There is a cold front coming in tonight and temps will drop into the teens.
My question is should I just bring all the trees into the garage where I get the same wind protection and much lower humidity, leave things as is or add some additional protection to the trees in the tent? I was thinking about wrapping the boxes in bubble wrap, creating a little fence around and above the box and filling that fence with some mulch. Thoughts?
