I wanted to get an update from buyers. Has the tree survived over the cold as well as bearing fruit? Thanks for your time!

I live in California, zone 9 and have it planted outside through the winter. The first year it lost all its leaves after the frost and I was worried it had died. I also had to replant it due to problems with the soil. This is it's second winter and it held up very well. No fruit yet, I am not expecting any for a couple of years. I have it positioned where it has some protection from cold winds. I previously had it planted out in the open, so this may have made a difference.

I am in N. Florida, so the trees didn't have a bad winter here. Both are in pots, and stayed outdoors. Both are growing and doing very well. No fruit yet, and I don't expect any for a few years.

I bought this for my mom about a year ago. So far, it has weathered the cold pretty well. It's been pretty cool in Louisiana. Down in to the high 20's a few times. She said the only thing that has happened is the leaves fell off, but the tree is alive and well.

The cold here in Western Washington has not affected the tree, but I did bring it inside when lows were expected to be below freezing. Many new leaves over the past month because of our warm February. No flowers yet. I have had my plant since June of 2014.

I got mine last summer and it's growing well. I live in Florida and our winter has been mild I have not had to cover it at all. No fruit yet.

My tree has survived the winter. However, still waiting for it to bear fruit . . .

I am in South Carolina, and our temps drop too low in the winter. You might be successful if you are able to keep it indoors through the colder season, which this tree is supposed to make a good ornamental tree, and do well indoors. you can find instructions online how to do this. :-)

I planted our tree in March (in central Texas) and it did great. If you protect it from any hard freeze you may have, I bet it will be fine to plant now.

I cannot answer your question right now. I just planted mine here in the US. I previously lived in a tropical country where my first tree was planted. I will see if my plant survives the winter. So far, it looks to be in hibernation.

Sorry, but I live in an area where it gets really cold. If I were you I would contact the business your plant came from. Good Luck

Yes, we bought ours as a Christmas gift in December and still have it in the same pot. Its doing well, and we'll need to transplant it into a larger pot soon. Currently we have 3 lemons growing on the tree. It's very happy being outside now that the temp is warmer.

Mine is outside right now....seems to be doing ok in the snow. I guess we will see in the spring.

Janet: I purchased this tree earlier in the year and planted it in large pot in the yard. It's doing well but I know it will take a couple of years to bear fruit. You should feel confident in placing it in a pot. Laura

So far it seems to be! I have only had it since last summer. It lived on the deck in it's original pot until around October. From what I have read it can be outside in temps as low as 15F at night so watch the weather. For the winter I moved it into an unheated garage. It looked like a little twig all winter but perked right up when I put it outside in the spring! No fruit so far but we'll see.

My plant arrived damaged in the box. It was December, and the plant seemed to have suffered from the cold temperatures. I sent a photo to the sellers and they gave me a refund. Sorry!

I really wish I could help, but a tree fell on my home in April and I'm currently living in an apartment and everything is in storage while my home is being rebuilt and I don't have the container anymore. Hopefully someone else will be able to give you the information. Good luck!

I have only had the tree for two years and it has not produced any fruit yet. It depends on where you live if there is a chance of freezing I would not plant it in the ground.

I'm from San Jose, CA and the tree survived when the temperature dropped below the freezing point last year. If it's long term, I would suggest covering it at night. But a few nights don't harm the plant.

We have two for citrus trees. One is probably ten years old and is in excellent condition. We live at 4500 feet and keep the soil moist all the time. In the winter we roll them into the garage, so they've never been frozen. We have them in pans meant for water heaters, on four wheels. If you do that, get at least four inch high wheels to make rolling easier.

Hi I live in Northern Fl. and put them over my fruit trees with burlap underneath and all of them died so my opinion don't waste your money I replaced my trees and made a 2x2 insulation board box to protect them hope that works hope that helps Jim

I don't know if it will survive in cold climates. I keep mine in my indoor covered patio which is pretty warm in the summer but could get cold during winter...maybe in the 40's. But my plant has not gone thru winter yet. I got mine end of February and so far it is doing very well. I soak it in water for about half an hour once a week.

Can you shed some light as to why you believe all the leaves fell off? When I brought my citrus tree indoors for the winter (I live in Minnesota - Zone 4), all the leaves fell off. Apparently, my citrus tree threw a temper tantrum because I didn't acclimate it before bringing it in. When I placed the plant on a west-facing window, it slowly grew leaves again. I watered and fertilized weakly, weekly. If that is not it, I would recommend checking for insects (usually under leaves) etc. Hoping others can chime in and offer you suggestions. Good luck.
