I know that Junipers prefer to be outside but I'm concerned that it may be too cold here at night. It's been around 30 F ( -1 C) daytime and around -5 to -10F ( -20 to -23) at night. I do have an enclosed porch which would protect it from wind and snow but not the cold. I've read that I need to put newspaper underneath the pot to insulate but can this tree be left outside at night or should I just bring it in each evening until temperatures rise ( sometimes around June! I'm in zone 4)?

Thanks
