I haven't lost any of my trees this winter. Of course, the winter is probably not as harsh here that it is in Michigan, but I protect my trees this way:
I dug a place in the back of my garden, about 4x3 metres and 30 cm deep.
Before heavy frosts, I put a layer of dead leaves in the bottom, place my pots on it, then add more leaves between the pots and on top of the soil. sometimes, I add straw if I can get some, or pine bark, the sort of thing you find in garden centres to complete.
I never water them, it's damp enough under the cover of leaves.
