I have no idea how I'm going to protect this.
Last year I had a smaller edith bogue inside and it died. This year I put it directly in the ground

Lovely!
Those are reliable down here, so hopefully ScottyON will chime in with tips.

YA, if we keep this thread up Soctty can chime in. He's done some excellent things with So. Mags in Kingston.
I planted a small BBB last year and protected with with frost cloth and mini-lights. The foliage came through OK (anywhere that there were no lights was damaged) and a small branch did die, but I think I damaged it while putting on the initial protection in place. FYI the low at my place was -31C, with weeks below freezing.
Here is the Magnolia in early April of this year:
