Never fear. This Cajun hardly ever gets mad.
For me, bonsai that are borderline on the hardiness zone will either be taken inside or placed inside an Igloo cooler and filled with mulch for winter protection of the roots. That's what I do for growing zone 10+ tropical in zone 9. Later on in life when I move to zone 6 area, a lot of my bonsai will need cold temp protection.

I resent the icicle reference . We have summer for at least a little while . Trees even sprout leaves .

Right now you are just out of your last frost date. Tell that to me in September, when you have your first frost.I resent the icicle reference . We have summer for at least a little while . Trees even sprout leaves .
I still remember traveling to Canada in late May and still got snowed in. I say take your icicles moniker and be cool with it.

Speaking of summer great weather at the cottage . Found this hiking interesting tree foliage is fairly leggy ( trimmed it back ) pointed north . There are trees above it shading it . Seems collectable is loose next to no soil at base of trunk . Sorry no coke can for scale . About 8 inch trunk bear base . Bark indicated a fair bit of age interesting the branch visible under base of tree may be separate tree . 
. I will go back add some substrate see if I can develop it more in the field . See what it turns into

It seems you can dig a trench and nick the roots then add substrate for the roots to develop into before collection.Speaking of summer great weather at the cottage .

Oh we’re cool
whether we like it or not where I live snow in May is extremely rare and so is frost in sept but it can happen October is often warmer than sept right up to the end but end of October and first of November it starts cold at night with a bang. Most southerners that visit in the summer are very surprised how hot it gets 35 to 40 d:c and 100 percent humid so about 85 to 100 f

Not exactly that easy . This tree is loose at the base sitting on solid rock roots trail back into better soil . No trench experience has shone me dangerous to sever roots that are there they will go 3 to 4 feet back thru some soil and then into cracks in the rock face . If you severed where they go into the cracks you will have collected the tree . Plan is to work more soil into the area near the trunk and wait may take a while tree is not young . And this is not the south where you are . Can’t be anywhere aggressive as you can be but they will send our roots

Fair.
About the only thing about it they teach in schools here is the Battle of New Orleans and the burning of DC. From my limited knowledge, I think the Quasi-war with France (never mentioned in schools) was part of the motivation, which continued on to British Commonwealth states after they took Quebec, the whole thing being about pulling European colonies in North America into the (then) new USA.
Sorry, I'm just fascinated by how the other side views historical events.

Great idea
I would love to visit Germany . My ancestry is polish From the area near the German border . Can trace my ancestry to one of the first 11 families to emigrate to Canada from Poland . In the 1850s . What I would like to know is with 1/2 if North America available why did they choose the ice cube

That’s fairly accurate . Not sure you want to hear my opinion of the French English battle for Canada .
. But 1812 was basically . After you guys kicked the British out . You thought the inhabitants of southern Ontario really would be better off as Americans. strategically control of the Great Lakes was at stake . After a couple of years of give and take on both sides . Both sides just kind of stopped . Story of Tecumseh I find fascinating

I firmly feel there's an argument to be made that Tecumseh was almost single handedly responsible for the, "Indian Wars." In sorta the same way Bin Laden is responsible for half the unrest in the Middle East.
Brilliant and remarkable man, no question, though.
