Re: [IBC] Why Mulch ??

Mark,

I'm not sure that the A. palmatum - Bloodgood -  will survive being outdoors.  Other's 
in YOUR area certainly know better, but I protect mine -here- from excessively long 
cold spells, a phrase which here means, more that a few days in the mid to upper 20's. 
 I'd freak out if I had to leave them in the snow.

What say you frigid folk?
Regards,

  Thanks for the encouragement Nina.
  Most of my trees are maples (Bloodgood), Hinoki Cyprus, junipers (Chinensis)
  or pines (Mugho).
  I assume these critters will withstand the cold here in central PA.
  I'll reluctantly bury/mulch them this weekend.
  :-(
