Is it a good idea to wrap burlap around a new Japanese Cherry Willow for the winter in Western NY? We get a lot of snow and cold. Is there some special care it needs?

Certified ExpertA.They need little pruning. Diseased or broken branches can be pruned out at any time of the year. Pruning for any other reason, such as to remove rubbing branches, should be done right after flowering. Here is more:
