Will, what I am trying to say is that trees that are not hardy should have more than basic winter protection. They should have special protection in a cold room or in heated greenhouse.

Yes my maple did not survive the very low winter temperatures or sudden changes in temperature that occurred in 2004, enven though I thought I had given it more than the basic protection. It is definitely what is usually called winter kill which is a temperature stress for which the tree was not adapted.
