BZR … great, but even -1° is risky, and just a cover (should be thick and efficient) could be not enough, if the freezing period (during the night) is more than a few hours … without heat source, the system with a cover is working on inertia, should the temperature be rather negative for a couple of day, without sun, that's very risky.
After that the cover could work well on small trees, but after a few years … what will append .. but you should try YES.
About the green house, versus a garage, you are right .. but I don't have a garage or a place to store them during the winter, I should have built some thing, so the green house was a solution .. could be used during the spring for early seedling, of (for exemple) Strawberries in permaculture .. ideas ..
Thanks for reading, good luck from your side.
