Anything I need to do to my trees to prepare for fall/winter

[BJE80]

I planted 10 trees this spring and they are all doing great. Just making sure there is nothing i need to do to prepare my trees for fall/winter so they survive their first winter. Thanks.

Some people paint the trunks with a latex paint.

Make sure you wrap the trunks with protection such as aluminum window screen stapled.

Make sure you have a 5'+ tall fence to protect from browsing.

All done. Well not the paint part.

What are the benefits of painting other than to help prevent sun scald.
