Growing Cold Hardy Citrus

[@howardfowler2255]

I just got off the phone with Stan. It was a pleasure talking to him about my fruit tree needs.He was a great help in deciding what would work for this new resident of eastern Tennessee regarding growing cold hardy citrus in a temperate climate. Stan s passion for and love of growing cold hardy citrus trees sure comes shining through in his videos. Folks interested in growing off the beaten path citrus and other unusual fruit trees have a reliable guide in Stan. Thanks a million,Stan.

[@andrewcrawley8005]

I’m from East Tennessee as well. Was planning on calling Stan today or tomorrow trying to get a specific lime tree. My key lime tree is actively blooming for the first time as we speak. Also was going to ask him about that. Glad to hear he’s helpful!

Stan is awesome, I live in Hawaii and he’s so helpful.

[@andrewcrawley8005]

@@wsmaga for sure he was super genuine and helpful when I talked to him.

Wow! During the holidays, Spanish folks use bitter orange to season their meat. This is good that we can grow. Better orange here.
I found about your citrus from the Millennial Gardner. And yes I went by your place in April2024. I got a few.
Thank you for the tips

[@kws1957]

Thank you Sir for your knowledge and support regarding citrus trees. May the Lord bless, protect and keep you.

[@citrusman99]

Thanks for your kind wishes!

[@Sanchez96d]

Great information! I watch the millenial Gardner. He has the cara Cara on the ground. I have a midknight Valencia orange grafted onto a cold hardy rootstock. And it is big now.

[@barbaraannewer6320]

YAY! I found ya Stan and I subscribed! So looking forward to receiving my trees! It was great talking to you and thank you for the help!

[@carrie108]

I love the millennial Gardner and I’m happy to see one of your satsuma trees on his videos. I will be trying out my first citrus tree this year and with all your help/tips, I’m really excited to get going with it.

[@citrusman99]

Thanks Carrie, your kind words are appreciated!

I bought 2 owari satsuma trees from Stan about 10 years ago, and they are still growing here in north georgia. They are planted in the ground in my unheated greenhouse. I also have a Citrangequat tree out in the open that got burnt a few winters back, but seems to be doing a lot better now. Additionally I have 20+ of the poncirus trees, and Stan is right, these are pretty much impervious to cold. The fruit isn't very edible but still a fun plant.

[@cnycharles6280]

:) thanks for the tour, coworkers and I in se pa and south jersey bought some yuzu and others and look forward to growing!

[@mariawestmoreland5097]

Love going to South Carolina to see Stan, buying citrus plants, very nice person

[@billbiewenga4659]

Thanks for all the work you do, Stan. My Owari Satsuma tree is being delivered within an hour, and I'm looking forward to getting started with this project up here on Cape Cod.

[@Sanchez96d]

Thank you for the Carolina lime! It arrived healthy, and I potted it in a good pot, with great soil to ensure the growth of it in the winter. To later plant it in ground, here in se nc. I have a Meyer, that does good here too.

[@horaciogarza6360]

Wish we could get these shipped to Texas!😢

[@Irondome1]

Best citrus plants on the planet 💕 I'm looking forward to taking care of your trees at my NY home Stan.

[@therudimentroom]

I just heard from your location from The Millennial Gardener, and I will absolutely be visiting you this fall or early spring next year to get a truck load of new citrus plants! I checked out your website, and you have an unprecedented variety of citruses for sale, and I am stoked! I live near Aiken County, SC, so it's just a quick couple hour drive to the farm. Looking forward to heading your way at some point!

[@Frank-fs5nv]

Stan is the best. Period.

[@citrusman99]

Thanks Frank!

[@Frank-fs5nv]

@@citrusman99 Stan I've been growing a citrus I grew from seed up here on the Connecticut coast in a "pop-up" greenhouse with Christmas lights and water containers, it's doing fine. It even has fruit, and I don't have to tell you we've had some real cold temperatures. I plan to get one of your cold Hardy types. I share your love for them.

[@citrusman99]

@@Frank-fs5nv Thanks so much for this report.. ITs a fun hobby we have!

[@fordguyfordguy]

I just visited Stan and really appreciated the tour of his gardens, and all the information - bought a few trees too! Thank you Stan.

[@sisterm6114]

Stan I got fruit on first year I bought Satsuma and kumquat also my little lemon tree. I’m so satisfied with my purchase .

[@citrusman99]

Thank you so much! Always remember... YOU cant lose with the stuff I use! :)

[@billearnshaw1074]

Well Done, at about 4300 ft in elevation, have a selection, but now want some citrus. I plant in plastic drums, which keeps the squirrels off of them, and a bit warmer in the winter. We usually get two weeks that goes down to about 20 degrees. So far the peaches and figs are my biggest producers.
So will call and see about the Owari Satsuma and the Nagami Kumquat, or what ever you recommend.

[@suntron1957]

Nice video Stan! Stan is quite a blessing to us citrus lovers. I am located about 97 minutes drive to his North and it is always a joy to visit his facility! (Rick Atkinson)

[@lazor222]

Stan! You are the citrus man!! I'll see you soon for some more varieties. I picked some up from you in 2020 and you inspired a passion to learn how to graft and spread the love of citrus with others!

[@ms.es.fabulousfirsties4055]

I just spoke to Stan. He is a delight. I just ordered my Satsuma tree. Can't wait to get it.

[@CardiacCat]

I just ordered a Kimbrough Satsuma and Harvey Lemon yesterday and got them by UPS today in NC. Stan, the trees are beautiful and healthy looking. Cannot wait to get them in the ground so they can start growing. I will be doing the Christmas light wrap (incandescent not LED) and the plant bags over them while they are young and when temps dip too low. I hope you have the Kiwi's back in stock by spring. I'll be ordering more stuff.

[@hawk99gt]

I have one of Stan's Satsumas now for several months in a pot in my green house in the North GA Mountains. Hasn't produced fruit yet but growing so well I had to trim it back.

[@citrusman99]

Should fruit for you next spring! Glad its doing well!

Did you plant it in the ground? What part of NC are you in? Thanks for sharing

I get all my citrus from Stan! He is so helpful and knowledgeable! Love McKenzie farms!

[@ericrichardson9547]

Great video man. Glad I called you earlier. See you soon my friend.

[@bhk808]

Love your video. I live in Hawaii, and also love my Owari Satsuma tree. As a hobby, I have about 50 different varities of citrus trees growing in my backyard. I'd love to get a Brown Satsuma plant. However, there's not much selections of citrus varities in Hawaii. Mainly, because of Hawaii's very struct agricultural import restrictions. I checked it the CCPP for Brown Slate Satsuma budwood. No luck.
You should make a video on your process of making various citrus grafts.
Aloha, Barry

[@citrusman99]

Thanks Barry! I plan to do another video soon on Citrus grafting and some of the more unusual citrus types I have here at my farm Thanks again!

[@bhk808]

@@citrusman99 FYI, was surfing some TH-cam channels, and saw another one of your video posted by Dennis Nantz (sp), where you're demoing grafting techniques outside, before audience. Your demo was well done, but the closeup shots by cameraman not too great.

Stan... Loved the video. I did email you reqarding the Satsuma citrus. I used to live in Miami so I love citrus trees. I learned abouit you from MIgardener videos. I'm in Lewisville NC about 10 miles from Yankkinville, NC.
I just retired from Law Enforcement and will be starting a plant nusery. I currently grow cold hardy palm trees and tropical plants. Do you offer your citrus wholesale? What is the price of the pineapple guava? The next time I go to Charleston I'm going to have to stop by your nursery. Thanks...

Sugar Belles are supposed to be both cold tolerant and resistant to greening. They are a tangerine tangelo hybrid. Like a Honeybell only mandarin sized.

[@TheCitrusman]

Hi Noah. Thanks for reaching out. If you are in some of the coastal areas of the panhandle of Alaska, you might , but if you’re located in inland areas that regularly go below 0. , they wouldn’t survive those conditions.

I was interested to buy some citrus trees from your website but unfortunately I live in Texas, so you know what that means😮

Yes, sorry about that... Texas is a big place and its unfortunate that they ban citrus from coming in for the whole state.

how can i get some trees from you ???

[@CardiacCat]

If you haven't got them yet, just call the number above in the video and talk to either Stan or his wife. He is very pleasant to talk with and helpful in describing the trees. I sent an email that got lost in junk mail, but I called and got them directly which was better than email anyway. He ships the trees quickly once you order.
