Silver Birch in pots

I have about 30 silver birch which I grew from seed earlier this year and are mostly about 2 to 3 feet high already and seem healthy. All of them are in pots and I don't want o actually plant any as yet.

We are in the south west but how how should I care for them over winter to avoid losing any of them ?

Thank you in advance for any advice.

    Just leave them outside. No special treatment. They are as tough as old boots - not called scrub birches for nothing. Hope you have room in your garden for 30 eighty foot high trees!

    Why have you got 30 but don't want to plant them out?  They are trees and will need planting out sooner rather than later.
