Great to see it doing pretty well!

"Yuzu hybrid" possibly one of the '10 degree tangerines'? (Yuzu x clem)

Nice

Great tree, I've seen much worse damage.

Nice to see that most you citrus has come through the other side of the severe cold spell.

Was not expecting blooms. Looks good.

Can you post a link for the 55G heater? I never seen this.

Wow, its nice to see some citrus that still have their keaves in the Winter! Glad you didn't see too much damage.

I have 1 wagy in the ground probably 15 years always comes through the winters in better condition it’s a male so no seeds but a great tree with smaller stiff fronds.

Bob McCartney once advised me to grow seedling citrus or grow them on their own roots. Because if they do get too cold they will often die back and resprout. Grafted plants are great but in colder climates you have to protect that graft. I've since began getting into grafting and have begun experimenting.

Honestly great results so far!

Beautiful Sabals. I'm in zone 7a here in Northern Nevada and I've been experimenting with lots of palms. From 6a-8b

Excellent update! Poor pineapples 🍍 got blasted

Great video! In a previous video, you showed a Sabal Tamaulipas. Has that ever received cold damage?

Amazing Sabal collection! There are so many fantastic cold hardy Sabal varieties out there

Cool video Tom! I’m growing Sabal minor and needle Palm in Buffalo z6b so far so good! I’ve been frozen for a while but the Sabal minor tolerates being covered in a snow pile. Needle palms generally spear pull. It’s starting to warm up but do you think I should cover them with a pop up greenhouse to get them thawed? My coldest low was a brief dip to between -3 & -6°F. But I wasn’t awake yet to see.

I've seen twice now a palm that looks like Trachycarpus princeps,am I correct?Great video and would love to see you're other palm species

I would like to plant a Sabal palmetto, butia odorata and I am interested in how it behaves in a climate where the average is 18-20f per winter and 20 days of snow. The lowest measured was 5f but it has been a long time since then, the last ten years it has not been less than 14f, in addition the daily temperatures are low.

Is your Kishu grafted or seedling? I’m supervised it took these cold temp without much damage. My Kishu is grafted on c35, in a pot. I move it indoors once night temp dip blow 50F. If yours took 20F without damage, I might keep out longer.

Glad your trees withstood our latest Polar event.Here in zone 7b eastern Tenn. we got hit with single digits and two days of below freezing highs.My outside Browns Select, ten degree tang.,and US 942 came thru ok but we're covered with frost blankets and rugs with X- mas lights tucked in around the plants . My feijoas ,though,took some leaf damage but will recover,I hope. March can't get here soon enough. Thanks for the tour of your compact grove and continued success with your citrus!

Trees looking good, mine are still young

Awesome looking fruit thanks for sharing

If you graft a peice of that cutting grown 942 tree onto your mature tree it can fruit within a year

Thanks for showing us that absolutely amazing. I have two blood oranges and the Amoa 8 in containers on flying dragon rootstock. I plan on keeping them in the greenhouse and hopefully will be able to keep them at a smaller size for a while they’re growing fast. Can you please tell me how big and old yours is and what rootstock. Thanks. I also enjoyed your snow videos we have about 3/4 inch and ice on top. But it is pretty on the palm trees for a little while here in Polk county NC.

You're just going to close up

Actually, January 10!

Hey Tom, do you know of anywhere I can source the Augusta Citrangequat?

Where are you located?

That color on the Amoa 8 is amazing. I see your hand got in a fight with some cold hardy citrus thorns.(:

Wow! I’m blown away by Amoa 8 colour. It’s like dark raspberry / blackberry. First time I hear about Amoa 8. Definitely going on my wish list.

Amoa 8 looks incredible. As one who hates maintenance on potted citrus it would be worth to cover!

I've always wondered about using submersible aquarium or cattle tank heaters in black plastic pickle barrels as a thermal battery when overwintering an individual tree or possibly in a greenhouse. You say you got the water up to 90F?! How long did that take? I think the interesting advantage here is you could have a power outage and that barrel is going to stay above freezing probably for at least a day if not 2 or 3 days depending on how low your freezing temps go. This may buy growers at least a day before they need to panic and potentially look for other ways to deal with outage until power/heat can be fully restored. I've heard people suggest that passive (unpowered) pickle barrels make little to no difference (might be regional), and I've seen nobody attempt to quantify their effectiveness so most people seem to guess on effectiveness without testing/verification. Good job Tom, you are demonstrating something interesting here! I also wonder about partially burying the water barrel so its almost halfway in-ground as a means to attempt to partially warm some of the root zone? Furthermore, one can also get soil heating cables with build in thermostats that just heat soil up to 75F (bootstrap farmer and amazon sells them). I think the only choice to deal with power outages with these electric solutions is just to get a big lithium battery like a GoalZero/Jackery unit (not cheap) to run your tree heating system in the event of longer duration power outages. That might also be a thought when pushing for some overwintering overkill here. ;) Are you aware of the Govee H5151 wireless temp/humidity sensors Tom? If you have wifi at home and own a smartphone you can get historical graphs and temp/humidity alerts even if you are away from the house. These devices are loved by residential greenhouse owners. I have sensors deployed in my garage, in my grow tents, in the house, in the greenhouse (ceiling and floor so I get early warnings), as well as in my front yard. These devices are useful for seeing the temp/humidity differential between indoors/outdoors when I'm moving my potted citrus around seasonally. Its also useful for measuring specific micro climates in my yard and knowing over the last 2 years that the lowest temps I normally see around around 11/12F so I can plan cold hardy citrus projects around it. In northern latitudes with furnaces running all winter stripping humidity from the air these sensors are fantastic for those of us pushing more growth to avoid citrus VPD shock and just grow them between 0.2 - 1.5 VPD avoiding long stretches at or above 2.0+ VPD.

Thanks for sharing this 😊

Had my first oroblanco off my tree this year! They are delicious.

New Zealand Lemonade is one my favourite citrus plants. All my citrus are in pots, Zone 5b. I find NZ Lemonade a very productive, taste good, the blossom are stunning and fragrant.

New Zealand is delicious. Keraji wins though

It looks like it’s suffering from greening that’s what happens to the fruit

Think it’s as cold hardy as MIC?

Where can I get one man?

Very nice fruit and review of them.

Great video! That’s quite similar to what I’ve been doing with my clementine and avocado tree. The lights seem to work really well.

I'm in northeast GA. I want to plant some cold hardy citrus in ground. I was considering US 942(for fruit), Thomasville Citrangequat,10 Degree Tangerine, and Mandarinquat. Any thoughts and or advise.

Hi Tom, do you protect your Ichang in the winter at all? When I got mine this past summer, 1dogventure told me I might need to use some protection in my 8a zone.

Happy thanksgiving! I’m hoping they do well too in my zone 8 where I’m growing Sudachi and Ichang. The Sudachi was mail ordered as a Christmas gift last year during freezing weather. It dropped its leaves and was bare all year until October. But it’s a tiny little plant. Protecting it in a greenhouse until it’s hefty enough

Hi Tom, great to see a new video from you! Kabosus should do ok in your zone. Their hardiness is somewhere between a Yuzu and Sudachi, and so far my Sudachi is still alive in my zone which is colder than yours. So, it should do well in your garden in ground.

Would you leave the green cover all winter as well? Getting my keraji and Yuzu ready for 24 degrees . I have frost covers and water barrels. Thinking about adding christmas lights for Keraji. Like you said, let's hope for mild winter.

Thanks a lot that’s exactly what I’m doing today I have them covered for the next few nights I’m using a 50 W flood light the kind you stick in the ground. Thanks for all your videos and information. My wife and I used to attend the Southeastern Palm Society meetings at least 10 years ago sure learned a lot from those meetings about protecting the palms I still have.

I haven’t heard about Kabosu before. Thank you!

Have you also tasted Sudachi? Would be interested in a comparison :)

I was wondering about this one and was worried that it would be bitter, so your review is much appreciated. Thank you.
