I'm not the most experienced person here, so you may want to ignore me, but having majorly stressed a tree or two before I would say just treat it as normal through the winter (keep it in an unheated garage or room to protect it from the wind, or put it in a sheltered location outdoors and mulch it in good, and ensure it gets sufficient water). It will probably wake up fine in the spring, although it may have a lot of regrowing to do.
Trees can surprise you. From what I understand, often they will shut down in response to severe stress but still be very much alive, waiting for better conditions to arrive, even though to outward seeming they appear dead.
