- I found a way to grow Citrus Trees in the ground without covers or electric lights in the winter. We see temperatures as low as 20f (-7c), get snow nearly every year and have been successful with these trees. See the proof.

Thank you for this video! I just wandered upon it because my Owari Satsuma tree is not bearing any fruit after 3 years. But what I discovered, is that I have a microclimate in my backyard that gets filtered sunlight throughout the day and that is where most of my citrus does the best as opposed to being an blazing hot sun (where my Satsuma is). Keep up the experiments. I am off to check out a few more of your videos.
thank you. just bought an Owari, on its way soon. excited to put these tips to use
What's not to love about micro climates! This is a great video, interesting, fun, good photography, not boasting, not repetitive. Thank you my friend.
Thank you Amy! Means a lot to me.
One hundred years ago, the USDA hired Dr Walter Swingle to breed cold hardy citrus varieties. Dr Swingle bred citrus varieties to. Citrus cousin, poncirus trifoliata, or hardy orange. These are hardy down to -20 degrees F but the fruit is bitter and resinous. Dr Swingle had various degrees of success and some are still available such a Thomasville citrangequat. The Owari Satsuma is my favorite citrus fruit. It originated in Japan and it’s said to be hardy to 15 degrees F. You’ve got a great microclimate there! Good luck!
Thank you for ur video. You have really keen desire to grow different citrus and other fruit tree. We’ll explained ur experiencing sharing
I think you did a great job on this video. Very informative to the point you put some time into it keep up the good work.
Thanks a bunch for the compliment! Didnt expect a LMTV guy to find value in a vid about Fruit trees! Checked out your channel, looks like you do some custom fab. Currently working on a 900 gal fire skid for the M1090 based on the Sixcon MIL tank system. Gotta get ready for Fire Season! Vids to come soon.
looks just like the area where I Live, I just planted a bunch of citrus on my ranch I'm right at 2,000 ft elevation In Mariposa County, This is Awesome!!!!!! Keep Doing What You're Doing!!!!!!!! Love The Video!!
This helps a lot with site selection. Thanks.
Was a big surprise for me!
Excellent job on this video, so clear and easy to follow
Thanks Hector, still working out what format works. I glad it you appreciate it!
In zone three my the key limes and the fruiting lemons just came in.
I have off wandered at the terms per bird, thank you for the research.
Excellent thoughts.. I've come to believe the truth is not commonly taught.. It has to be thought out. And discovered by critical thinking..👍
I am in 8A and about to try Owari Satsuma. Apparently they will need help for the first 5 years or so during those sub-20F nights… but after that they should be able to handle down to 15F… or 12F if grafted into trifoliate rootstock like mine.
Trifoliate goes dormant much sooner than Satsuma… which causes heavier lignification of the wood. Which causes better cold tolerance.
My trees will be tucked up out of the wind (major helper) onto the South side of my brick home with lots of concrete around to absorb heat (another layer of assistance).
I plan to just throw a moving blanket and lights on my trees if temps aim below 20F. Which does not happen most Winters here… but for super short periods during a night or two.
That being said… they have sailed through many mid to upper 20s nights this first Winter and they are not in the ground. Just surrounded by my Improved Meyer lemons… which are also doing great there on the south side of the house.
I’d say, mine have been there for 5-6 years now and the leaves and bark seem to be doing great. Lots of Mandarines on this year although those had the peels frost bitten a week or two ago, fruit still good though!
Noted on the rootstock. Great advice!
Meyer lemons, in the cold? You are having success? I tried several but no luck. Tell me more about yours please.

The mother plant of my lemon trees is an “Improved Meyer Lemon”. The has lived her whole life in a container.
She was thought to be dead one Winter about 4 years ago. The temps were supposed to be upper 20s that night and wound up being upper teens. Complete defoliation and all small green branching turned brown and died. She was presumed a goner and left out there the rest of the Winter and saw several more mid-teen nights.
Then last the next Spring… Long after all other things had awakened and been growing for a while… she woke up. The part that survived was the around 1.5” trunk that had bark on it towards the base.
She grew like crazy that year and came back bigger and better than before. She skipped out on making fruit that year…. But every year since then the fruit has been a little bigger and better.
She was successfully rejuvenation pruned by nature.
I saw a lemon tree that was 2 to 3 stories tall in that neighborhood (was in Mobile, AL at the time) that got severely hit by the cold that year. Still came back the same way. It had a massive vertical trunk that had that protective lignification/bark on it.
Reminder that hard pruning with a good root system can really kick a tree into high gear.
Thanks for the input. I think I’ll try again!
I've grown Owari Satsuma trees in the ground here in zone 7A-7B for about 7 years now. They are inside an unheated greenhouse. I have a Citrangequat planted in the ground in the open, and it's just starting to take off after about 4 years in ground. I can see just with a little help lots of "iffy" things like certain citrus can be successful.
Newfoundlander here...if it can't survive in below -20 C weather and 4 feet of snow for 3 months, then it's no point trying here. I find it interesting the stuff that grows in warmer climates ♡
Haha, now that’s real cold! Plenty that will do well though. You also have loooong Sumer days. Do you have to choose varieties that mature more rapidly, before winter sets in?
@@cowboyV2 I say we do. There's sweet cherry trees and plum trees and apple trees in my back yard, so they will grow in Central Newfoundland. I never saw many fruit trees growing up in the rocky southern shore where I grew up though.
Hey Cowboy, What city are you nearby? 2200 ft looks like Sonora or Murphys, ca?
Sonora CA is very similar in climate. Haven't ever been to Murpheys but hear it's a very cool place. I try to fly under the radar, part of why we live this was way. Hopefully the Citrus growing tips were useful or atleast interesting. Welcome back!
Great video! What is your growing zone?
8b
Where did you get those identification tags ?
Brass “dog tags” from eBay. Same with the stamping machine to mark them. The machine is Chinese and might have been $200
What region are you located in?
USDA 8b western US
Try trifoliate oranges and trifoliate orange hybrids like citrumelo and citrange
I keep hearing this. Wonder how the deer like them? On an unrelated note, came out to find a dawn eating one of the kumquats the other evening. Didn’t know deer would touch citrus!
@@cowboyV2 becuase trifoliate oranges are deciduous there more cold hardy and there smaller I think citrumelos and cit ranges are semi evergreen becuase there hybridized with normal citrus but still very hardy
How’s your pawpaw!?
Both are growing albeit slowly. Need to try planting some in the shaded end of the orchard. I’ve got mine in full sun which I understand is not ideal.
I bought 60 chickens but idk how to plug them up to my 600W power supply, instructions unclear.
Yes
