Thanks for this video! Amazing to see how strong those trees actually are. I've got a tiny lemon seedling that came up in fall from a dropped seed, and it is surviving my zone 8a winter - with nothing but a cut out plastic bottle to cover it - no damage too! It made me really invested and now im cheering for it every day 😄 Looking at how well your trees did, I'm motivated to try planting some more fruit trees... Loquats, Satsumas, Feijoa.. Maybe even a cold hardy avocado too 👍

@overlookingview5621 I am so happy that your lemon seedling is putting up a fight against the dark forces of winterstorms. It's been a few years here with my passion for growing a food forest. And I could not imagine one without citrus in it. So if I am to stay well. I will attempt to collect as many citrus varieties as possible. And bring more attention to what many people are missing out on. There were times when it was heartbreaking waking up in the morning after a freezing night and seeing all of my young 17 citrus trees dead and barely hanging on at where I covered them with mulch, it occurred to me that these are like our own babies, we have to help & protect them sometimes when things are overpowering them. A simple act of covering them with a sheet of plastic gave them the wining chance against a much worse freeze than the one that killed them the last time. As you have, I was also inspired by what is called "our relationship" with plants. After all, the language of care and compassion seems to be universal and well understood, but most of the time, we choose to speak another language. I'm really glad that my video inspired you to plant more fruit trees. I do want to advise you to research and understand fruit trees' soil requirements. Sometimes fruit trees look alive, and they're barely hanging on and not ready to fight back against tough times, and that's mostly because of malnutrition and soil conditions. So you make sure you learn about that before investing in planting fruit trees. Best of luck. And don't forget to listen to your trees.

Micro sprinklers and christmas lights under cover also helps

@MakePeace123 I am attempting to induce natural cold hardiness to these plants in order to neglect them at some point after year 5. The most i will be helping them with is a plastic sheet on top and only when temperatures dip under 15F or 20F with strong wind chill present. So far, this method has proven very successful since I was clearly able to see their adaptability in the past 2 years and 3 years on some. this applies to all varieties in the video except my Pomelos, which seem to have some deep tropical origins. So those i will move in the greenhouse. I will be replacing them with a kumquat and Ujukitsu lemon. Both are just as cold hardy as satsumas.
