In the spring I planted a couple of bare root Mayhaws,
it took them weeks to sprout out and their growth hasn't
been spectacular, the shoots are only about 5 inches long.

The question is, should I try to protect these over winter?
I'm slightly north of the natural range of Mayhaws but still
in the same zone (7).

First frost is likely still a month away.

If it is good idea to protect them what is the best method
to protect them.
