Tropicals & Tender Perennials: bubble wrapping for winter, 1 by bigbubbles

Here's one the raccoons (armadillos?) knocked down. I just unwrapped it this afternoon. I wrapped the trunk and then over the "y." Bubbles were toward the trunk, and the wrap was about 6" wide. Wrapped fairly securely, so guess it lapped itself nearly twice. On all of them, I split the bottom of the wrap and made a 4" skirt at the base that I covered with mulch.
Edited to add:
The bubble wrap was a roll 12" wide. On most of the trunks, I split it, only using 4 to 6" to wrap. I used the 12" to cover and secure the y.
