Default [IBC] Winter protection for "baby" trees

Question, though, on the responses: is the bottom heat
over-and-above maintaining the 28-40 temp or a method for

maintaining that
temp range?



In Cleveland, I'd guess most means of bottom heat would struggle
to keep temperatures that high during the winter months.

You DO want them to go dormant; but even when dormant, trees grow
roots, so the warmer temps will help promote that, a little.

'sustainable growth' is an oxymoron. - Stephen Viederman
