Some of my students in Zone 5 get them through the winter in coolers in
their unheated garages.
That can work for Zone 4 most years. It did for me in my early days of
bonsai but I never tried it in
the coldest of years...those that stay below -20 for a week or two or more.
Do you have an unheated basement?

I don't have a greenhouse YET but I hope to have one in the near future. I
have had problems with winter die back on my Tridents in the past and I did
blame it on the cold weather here in Maine. Any thoughts on how to over
winter
them here in Maine? How cold can I allow Tridents to go?
