hi yes I usually cover the base with bubble wrap and put a cover over the top in winter, might not bother this year though as I've heard they are very Hardy I'm going to do a new video soon as it's grown really well since I last took this video in just a few months.
Fortunei doesn't need any winter protection unless the temperature is going to drop below -10C which it almost never does in the UK. Or if there is snow cover for more than 48 hours, which again, there never usually is. I have never protected any of mine in the past 3 years, even ones in pots that have roots exposed. They sail through winter.
Is this tree 2 years old from seed?
Heron seems happy! how about an update Pete

do you give it any winter protection? I have a few in containers here in Northern Ireland which are doing great.
