With my glazed pots I place them into the soil just even with the rim and then the leaves on top. Pot and tree survived. Fingers crossed on the survival of your trees and pots. Nice idea digging down and covering with leaves and enclosing the trees with the fence. It will help to keep the leaves in place. I cannot wait till spring to see how yours survived. wesołych świąt i szczęśliwego nowego roku
The chicken wire will discourage the bunnies, and squirrels or mice never showed any interest in the trees, other than trying to burry nuts in the pots or picking the moss when the trees were still on the bonsai benches. I am hoping they will leave them alone. They did in the past years, so fingers crossed!

It looks good Izabela, good timing for sure!! I think the blanket of snow will do the trick!!
@@TheBonsaiZone thank you, Nigel! I'm counting on the snow blanket as well
Thanks for sharing. I’ve been debating this technique myself, please keep us updated how it goes in the spring!
@@dreamingofbonsai oh yes, I will film the unpacking, fingers crossed all pots will make it!
Warm your way. Right now it is 12F/-11.1C with a windchill of 0F/-17.77C.
Good luck with the tree protection!
@@DavesBonsai thank you, Dave!
Just curious, what are you doing to prevent mice and critter damage??
