Thanks for the advice, i'm going to try those methods. I picked up some large arbotex rolls from Dollarama. I forget the brand, however it was a recognizable name. The one @ Scarborough town had a large gardening section this summer with several frost protection items. Check out this plant protectio...

The Trachy looks great after the winter. I may try the same method next year. What kind of wrapping is that around the tree?
