Lemon tree.

[Ol 54']

Picked up a Myers lemon tree and it is producing like crazy. Now I know it is only summer but they claim in the dead of the winter it could freeze, here where I live it gets down I the 20's. So what am I planning to do for prepperation this winter? Right now it is planted in a large plastic container..

I brought one up to VA when I moved from FL panhandle. Lives in an 18" diameter pot. First year I left it outside and it froze, I thought to death, but it sprouted the next year. I was worried it had sprouted from sour orange rootstock (most commercial citrus uses that rootstock), but it flowered and had lemons (whew). I move it into an unheated garage every winter now, low light but it seems to do OK. They will take a light freeze.

You're going to carry it in every winter and back out again in the spring until you get so old you can't do it anymore. Then you'll cut it up and burn it.

I have a Carolina reper plant I've been bringing in every year for some silly reason

Planted it in the garden one year for the heck of it an it never grew but wouldn't die
Only about 8 inches tall
Felt sorry for the little guy so I potted it an brought inside.
Stupid thing took off a grew like crazy
Got a dozen or so peppers on it this year
This will be its 3 rd summer
