I am new to 名媛直播 and have a winter protection question. I have three deciduous trees that I am growing that have had only one season of growth. I live in Chicago were the temps can occasionally fall well below -10 degrees Fahrenheit. How do I keep them protected for the winter? I do not have a garage or basement so that is not an option.
1) I am considering heeling them in my garden inside the pots. Will that be enough to protect them?
2) If not heeling, then what do I protect the pots with? Towels?
Sorry for my lack of knowledge. I really want these trees to survive so that I can eventually train them.
thanks!

Three things we need to know to be able to give you an answer:
- The temperature in C. This is an international forum using international standards and I don't know what -10F is.
- The tree species
- Age / state of development of the trees
