It's more the wind I am concerned about, rather than the cold. It's
already got significant wind burn.

Cant you move the pot/plant to a more sheltered spot close to the wall of
your house. This should give it the cover it requires, you should give it
the right sheltered conditions all year round not just winter.Like you have
said it is the sun/wind that does the damage.Try and find a spot with
dappled shade.My Acer is on a south facing deck,but has cover from a large
photinia red robin.
