Shallow pots don't drain as well as deeper ones. This will help it drain better. Then put it into winter storage, wherever you do that. I would think it would be about ready for winter any way.

You should keep the pot sitting at a slight slant -- lengthwise -- to help the water drain to one of the drainage holes at an end. Of course, if the maples have lost their leaves, they'll probably do OK in an unheated shed over the winter. Just don't forget that they need _occasional_ water.

Anthony,
I am in Basingstoke and mine are okay. I keep my trees as close to the eaves of the house as I can partly for rain protection and also for frost protection. If you can raise the pot off the ground also it will help to drain away excess water.
