How can I protect 3 foot high avocado trees which I have grown from "seed" this year.I go away for the winter(3 months).The plants are in sheltered corners.Should I smother them in compost or horse manure..for warmth or surround with a coat of bubble wrap ?
or bury under lots of garden cuttings..branches & the like?
Any suggestions
