I would think it'd be better than nothing. Is it finely shreaded or in chips?
Anyone want to comment on burlap and bubble-wrap? I'm thinking of using that here in Zone 8... I figure layering that once or twice would create a decent "jacket" for the stems - burlap on the layer closest to the stem to help prevent moisture buildup on the stem, I hope. It could also be used in addition to the cage of hay (or pine straw or shreaded pine-bark?) too, methinks, in very cold places too.
Be well,
Mike
