Thanks a lot that’s exactly what I’m doing today I have them covered for the next few nights I’m using a 50 W flood light the kind you stick in the ground. Thanks for all your videos and information. My wife and I used to attend the Southeastern Palm Society meetings at least 10 years ago sure learned a lot from those meetings about protecting the palms I still have.
@ that’s a great idea with the concrete blocks. I have a 30 gallon drum of water in each one and protecting three satsumas this year. I also ordered and should be delivered today Keraji and Thomasville from Madison citrus should be showing up today to spend the winter in the greenhouse.
Would you leave the green cover all winter as well? Getting my keraji and Yuzu ready for 24 degrees . I have frost covers and water barrels. Thinking about adding christmas lights for Keraji. Like you said, let's hope for mild winter.
Leaving the green cover on all winter won’t allow sunlight to pass though (unless it’s a green mesh?) which can cause yellowing of the leaves. A possible alternative are tree protection jackets that come in green. Planket is one brand.
Great video! That’s quite similar to what I’ve been doing with my clementine and avocado tree. The lights seem to work really well.

If you use a flood light, put a concrete block immediately in front of it. The block will absorb the heat and slowly radiate it.

You can leave it on. It won’t hurt.
BTW, I don’t protect Keraji at all.

@ I leave both covers on only as long as needed.
