Good information all the way around and very helpful.
Wayne, I appreciate your "on the fenceness". It is hard to say for sure what is right or wrong when so many things work (and don't work).

I have given them a light spray of antidessicant in preparation for the dry wind.
Possibly my best strategy is a little of both based on the potential for VERY severe weather, Like the below zero, hard windy days and nights. If that is in the forecast the trees will go in the garage. Until then, I will leave them healed in the mulch in a semi sheltered alcove. For sure my boxwood will go into the garage earlier than this.

Sounds like your method is time tested to at least some degree. The low light of a north facing windows and low temps is probably pretty close to the environment I would acheive with a flourescent grow light in the garage.
