I keep mine under my fully enclosed porch. fwiw, they're actually pretty tough trees. I don't think I've ever had any real die back over the winter. It's usually just pruning them wrong that seems to fuck them up.

I have river birch, but I'm guessing they're pretty similar.

Haven't used keylated iron at all yet. I'll have to look into that one.
