Hi Gail. Here in Ontario we use burlap that you find at any home improvement store. It protects the cedars, helps them keep their shape in the snow, and lets them breathe. Not sure where you're located, but I hope that helps.
The branches will prevent the mulch from blowing away during high winter winds, and the mulch will insulate the ground and tree from the cold and snow. Wrap the trunk of the tree with burlap strips and twine to protect the trunk from rapid weather changes and animals. Surround the burlap and twine with chicken wire.

You can wrap them in burlap, or go to the hardware store and grab a cover for them that is sort of a cotton type blend, they are easy to work with because they have elastic at the bottom.
