The Facts on Cold Hardy Citrus

Most people lose their citrus trees in the first or second year of the tree's life. It pays to protect these small trees during 25 degrees F or lower freezes. Here are some things to remember:

  • Cover completely with a two-layer combination of a blanket and then plastic. Uncover the next day as it warms up.
  • Once established, citrus trees can tolerate lower temperatures and recover more quickly from freezes.
  • Keep your tree dormant. Never fertilize after July as this promotes late, tender growth that is suseptible to freeze damage.
  • Choose a microclimate. Find an area that's sheltered from northern winds for more tender citrus varieties.
