Some time last year I read about leaving brugs in the ground and wrapping the trunks up to the"y." Also the was mention of some sort of pipe insulation. I have been cutting all of mine down, and rooting the resulting trees all winter. I want to do it differently as I am finding that the ones that come back from the roots take too long to "Y" and sometimes don't bloom at all before frost. Besides I have enough of the same ones to quit doubling them every year! LOL I left almost all of the ones I rooted this past winter in large pots instead of in the ground and will bring them into the greenhouse or let them go dormant in the storage room.
What I am wondering is what kinds of results those who did this before got from the bubble wrap and how cold it got there? How many layers did you wrap around the plants and if anyone did the pipe insulation thing, how that worked out also? I know it is not near time to do this, but I may buy my stuff ahead a little at a time and also time really flies when you are having fun... ( I must be having a blast and not know it!)
Thanks in advance for any who reply to this!
