Very knowledgeable presentation, thank you! I would add one possible thing, that I have done with my large citrus trees here in N. Florida - putting a 100 watt light bulb or a kerosene lantern next to the base of my trees trunk / graft zone. I've done this without having to wrap / insulate the lower trunks and it's worked well, too.
I grew a dozen lemon trees from seed and are about a year old and roughly 14 to 18 inches tall in pots. I would love a video that shows first pruning, care and so forth please! Here in Southern California.
Good understanding of principles needed to capture heat as it's released from the soil during the night. Mulched soil is indeed counter productive in this case.
Well, I have a young lemon tree, (more a small bush really) in the ground in my garden in Bulgaria. It can hit minus 15 celcius here during the Winter for maybe 2 months at a time. I know I need to wrap it somehow. It's just how, it used to be in a tub that I could bring inside, but it wasn't really putting on growth and didn't flower or fruit, so I decided to give it the freedom of the garden..now I need to keep it alive.
i know this is an old video but i am wanting to get some lemon, lime and orange trees. i live in northeast texas where we do get some cold weather it may not stay but a few weeks at a time. but i also want to put my trees in the ground, should i group my trees together so, if need be i can throw up a tempary like hoop house arund them? what would you suggest again im in zone 8a
Hi Stephen! Thanks for your question! It is best not to trim citrus now. Citrus does not have a deep dormancy, but it does have a semi-dormancy triggered by lower soil temperatures. Wait until the soil begins to warm in the spring, and the first signs of new growth are apparent. The only reason to trim now would be to facilitate winter protection or to allow it to be brought indoors (if container-grown). If it is to remain in place and can be tented in severe freeze conditions, just wait.
Good information, thanks for making the video!

Microphone needs to be closer to the subjects and the music is to loud to hear them well enough
Stop complaining please
@@JoseGonzales-ul9sv He's right.
That is true. It is good suggestion for next time. Music is in my opinion distracting
@@hotdiggity6846 get your ears clean maybe you can hear better instead of complaining
@@JoseGonzales-ul9sv I think that’s the point. Ears ARE cleaned and the music is distracting. How about you develop some standards.
Yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, and after twelve minutes of waiting for them to wrap the damn plant, the materials stay untouched. Way to go, ladies!
all that could have been explained in a third of the time
Stop complaining don't be a grumpy man
