nice, I just shared your link on facebook!

Thanks for sharing Bass!

A much more simplified way of winterizing, I may give that a try instead of the old wrapping up with tar paper, chicken wire and filling with leaves/hay method this season.

Your Method is good overall but you,are advicing in it to prune the tree to a few branches and that is a big mistake.
Only God and nature knows wich branches will make it to Spring,if a harsh winter,so Unless you need wood for propagation,all the branches should be left intact till Spring.
When Unwrapping in Spring then prune.

I ment ,mainly all the trunks ,small and large that comes from ground ,especially should be left alone till Spring,because I found out that sometimes the youngest wickest looking ones at the base survive winter and the strongest thickest ,sometimes die before the smallest ones,so the only pruning at this time,should be done at the tips,if plant too tall and to be easy to wrapp.

Herman, I see your point. You're saying Don't prune till spring so you save as many branches in case of harsh winter.
Ideally late winter-early spring is the best time to prune any tree. However it is a lot easier to wrap the tree when it's pruned.
I wouldn't recommend growing the tree as standard in our cold climate due to the risk of losing the trunk to cold. That's why I would keep at least 3 trunks. If the tree is too bushy, it's very difficult to wrap, although it can be done.
