Not to protect from cold.
If we get a period of extended dry weather with strong drying winds, especially accompanied by frost, you need to keep an eye on the root-balls to make sure they do not get totally dry. As long as they're a bit moist, they should be OK. Keeping them out of strong winds makes this easier.
