This video highlights many techniques by which to protect your cold-hardy trees during the wintertime. It is by no mean an exhaustive list; it is merely a showcase of tried-&-true methods that I myself have used.
Plants have evolved to be outside, so temperate zone trees should remain outdoors during the winter. However, bonsai trees are in shallow pots, which provides less-than-natural root protection. The pot allows more fluctuations in temperature, which can be detrimental to your trees. Protect them.
Post your comments about how you store your trees during the winter - I'd love to see them.
For some more information, check out Nigel Saunders' video from one of his bonsai clubs: youtube.com/watch?v=kQoj_fLCzbg&t=5s
Nigel is from the Great White North, and his winters are much more severe than mine. He has a great page, so give him some love!!
