Can Lemon trees stay outside in the winter?

Answer 1

Citrus trees cannot sustain a hard freeze-which is a temp of 28 degrees or less over a period of six hours. That is why orchardists keep smudge pots, because even in warmer regions, occasionally killer frosts come. In more temperate zones most all citrus is grown outside. If you want to get the scoop on your area, try a garden nursery or feed store and see what they are selling.

Answer 2

I live in TX,, I had four lemon trees that where doing very well,, I would bring them in the house to winter and put them back out side in the spring,, also if you need to green up their leaves I have learned it you put avocado skins cut in thin strips in their soil they get very green and pretty...

Answer 3

!it all depends on where you live and which zone you are in. They are quite hardy plants and can survive some frost, depends on the variety as well!

Answer 4

Only in their native climates. If you live in an area where the temperatures regularly get below freezing, they need to be brought inside for the winter.

Answer 6

It all depends on where you live. I don't think that they can handle freezing temps very well.

Answer 7

WHERE DO YOU LIVE. THE MYER LEMON IS THE MOST COLD HARDY LEMON AND CAN GROW OUTSIDE AS LONG AS TEMPERATURES DONT GO UNDER 15 DEGREES. AT 13 IT WILL COMPLETLY DEFOILIATE AND AT 10 IT WILL DIE.

Answer 8

All citrus freezes and freezes very easily. They like warmer climates.
