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.

I agree - I just tend to focus more on things I can grow in the ground. If it needs protection in winter, it had better be outstanding! If I had a large greenhouse….

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.

Never
@farleyschmackums26 күн бұрын
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
@nemanjamilicevic756826 күн бұрын
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.
@doggiefamily90828 күн бұрын
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.
@CitrusPalmsWithTom28 күн бұрын
If you use a flood light, put a concrete block immediately in front of it. The block will absorb the heat and slowly radiate it.
@richardpetersen875327 күн бұрын
@ that’s a great idea with the concrete blocks. I have a 30 gallon drum of water in each one and protecting three satsumas this year. I also ordered and should be delivered today Keraji and Thomasville from Madison citrus should be showing up today to spend the winter in the greenhouse.

The tree is a Live oak. I do have some Bermuda but most of the yard is Centipede, which is much easier to deal with.

Thank you for the video. i try plant my Keraji next spring in zone 8a. I hope is cold hardy enough until -10/-11 C. I read your book 'Hardy Citrus for the southeast' and read about , that Keraji is excellent cold hardy varietie. Among others like Yuzu, thomasville , shiranui/dekopon , Harumi, and some satsuma type varieties. Do you could recommend for zone 8a some other citrus?
@CitrusPalmsWithTomАй бұрын
I’m growing some 60+ varieties. Those you name are all great - I would add Carolina lime, Changsha, Kishu, MIC, Ichang lemon, Yuzuquat, and other “quats.”

Kishu looks like a candidate for growing in a large pot here in eastern Tennessee Zone 7 b. If it tastes half as good as my Browns Select and ten degree tangerine it'll be worth it. Being a smaller tree than the other two will help out being in a large pot I hope.
