How to Grow Citrus In Northern Climates

[@Huebz]

Great note on adjusting your zones if you use pots! I'd also add that in the summer, you need to shift your zone up by one because pots get much warmer than the ground, just like they get much colder.

I have 20+ citrus and grown in several different zones.

[@Dr.Warren]

That is awesome. Thanks for sharing.

I left Riverside Ca, where citrus thrives, and had none. Now that I'm in the Carolinas I have about 15!

[@Dr.Warren]

That is awesome thanks for sharing! Approximately where are you in NC? There are big climate differences between Ashville and the outer banks.

@@Dr.Warren Wilmington area. Those I kept under the porch did better. Too much sun and rain. Lots of nutrients washed out. Probably why the Venus fly trap is from here. Though I've never seen one live. Few wild spots left.

@@WillWilsonII a beautiful city rich with history and good fishing. I used to be up the road from you 20+ years ago I was a sales rep for Monrovia growers. They had a nursery outside of Goldsboro before the crash of 2008. I spent a lot of weekends in Wilmington, topsail, Atlantic Beach etc.

@@Dr.Warren If you're familiar with Wallace and Burgaw, you should check out Welcome to Flatch. I was a set dresser for season 2. Half sister is from here. Her family got me that job.

Good luck in Montana.

With a south facing bay window it might be possible. But that far North you might need a grow light as well to get enough light.

Have tried several citrus trees taking out for summer in for winter and every single one has gotten scale infestation beyond control.

[@Dr.Warren]

Horticultural oil or imidaloprid will take care of scale.

I hope I never have to grow ANYTHING in a northern climate!

[@Dr.Warren]

Facts! But we are in a northern climate for citrus
