After several mild winters in a row (Southern NH, zone 5) and the

tree in my orchard.

It is now 2 F with prospects of negative numbers tomorrow night. If I
had one it would be croaked.

Sigh.

Hey John,

Sure is cold out here isn't it. Haven't you ever heard the saying about NH
weather - wait a minute and it will change?

Seriously, one nursery used to keep a cold room (about 45F) for large items
that needed a rest but couldn't take the cold of NH. Or you could opt for
cellar storage... You just need a huge pot and some wheels.
