Options with deciduous cuttings/seedlings for the winter??
I know diciduous trees need a dormant period. Do cuttings or seedlings need the same? Or can they be put in dormacy for a short period of time, then placed in the Greenhouse for the remainder of the winter? Thanks for the help!

Yes, they do need dormancy. You will need to protect them from frost and freezing though for the first year or two. An unheated greenhouse that stays close to the the outside temperature but above freezing will work for this, but too much light and heat will cause them to sprout prematurely before spring.
