I just found your video on pomegranates after my fiance told me his neighbor grows them in Centreville! Encouraging to see that we can grow certain fruit and flowers in VA!!
I am glad to find your video about Myer lemon. My Myer lemon died last year frost (I am in zone 8b -East Texas), but it came back. Fortunately, last year before frost, I cut a few tiny branches and propagated them and got those in pot. The one in the ground that died and came back is still inground outside and now we have snow and frosty ice (11 degree as I type here), though I cover with plastic bag.
Subbed I love the citrus inground in green house idea u gave me hope to get citrus growing in zone 8, i have some cold hardy satsumas that im trying unprotected in ground and gona make clones so if they die down i will make a green house like you did. Thanks man
Thanks, yes zone 8 should have no issue there a lot of people does citrus outdoor against their house southern wall and some protection in winter. Check out Stan. McKenzie Farms in SC he sell a lot of cold hardy citrus
Great work! Have you tried some of the cold hardy breeds and hybrids that can survive unprotected? I have several of hardy citrus seen on tough citrus channel growing outside in Alexandria va. so far so good and alive but no fruits to show yet.
@ I have Clem X yuzu 2-2, Yuzu, sacaton citrumelo, swingle citrumelo, thomasville and sinton citrangequats, and us 942 citrandarin. I got them all from either Stan McKenzie or Madison citrus except the swingles I grew from seeds
@ I want to build a passive greenhouse like yours for commercial quality citrus fruits and tropicals at my new home. I got into the Hardy’s because I can’t always be there to protect them at my parents home and want something to live on without my help
I have a Meyer lemon bush that I had for a few years in a pot that I keep indoors all year long. I neglect it often and only get about 2-3 lemons each season due to blossom drop. I have been wanting to try to place it outdoors but too afraid of losing it. I have been trying to grow more from seeds but I am too forgetful when it comes to watering and they always die off. I even tried to bury a whole lemon just to see if if would grow, no hope. Enjoy your growing.
I would love to get seeds of those green oranges. We only knew green oranges before we came to the US. In fact, if oranges turned orange colors they were usually bad. But here, I am used to see oranges now.

Thanks, maybe build a cold frame around it and then give it some insulation?
Yes. I didn't think of that. Thank you!!@@ItsJustGardening
Amazing set up there! Are all of your citrus trees grafted?
Thanks,the Meyer lemon is grafted where i got from home depot, and the ponderosa lemon I got it grafted from online.The rest is from seed.

I have yuzu and Citrumelo in front of my house, it’s from seed so no fruit yet either. What variety do you have ?

Nice… I was going to do a collection from Stan too but I got no more yard space.

Wow!!! I need to try again. I thought mine died because it was too cold. Maybe I just didn’t know what I was doing to get them to grow properly.
👍 good luck, you could try growing from seed too

Thanks for sharing your experiences.
How much roughly to build a lean against greenhouse that size
I got the glass recycled this was built long ago I think it cost me $300-500
Indoor all the time? not move outside during summer, or fall? thanks
It’s in the ground in a greenhouse if that consider in door
Anny particular reason you dont add some supplemental heat ?
I don’t want to spend money heating the greenhouse, and mine is not efficiently air tight, so even if I run a heater the heat would just keep running.

Hi sorry I don’t have seeds, you can check Chinese grocery around the area they might carry those fruit.
Mayer lemon is self pollinating.
Thanks
Looks more like a Eureka lemon….
Homedepot labeled it as Meyer 🤷
It looks a mess in there 😖
🥴
