Thanks for the comment, but the shed ain't gonna help much here!  

For my dug pear trees, which were all trying to grow-- and suffering-- I made 
the
time to plant them.  Watered them in real well, and mulched deeply.  Fingers
crossed.

For my apple trees (both the dug & the potted), the ones which I value more I 
put in
an unheated room.  Maybe not cool enough, but better than the over chilly 
shed.  The
ones I could loose, happen to be planted in pots, I slid those into the shed 
(which
was closer than the house.)  Three apple trees went to the neighbors, with
suggestions for beating the cold snap.
