So I left most of my citrus outside pretty late into the fall and most were exposed to 30-32 f. Anyway a lot of these are now showing good growth and are flowering................

There is often discussion here on how late to keep the citrus outside and i wanted to share this

I moved my lime and bergamot inside just before we had frost at night. Both started massive blooming soon after but the lime seems to drop the entire flowers once bloomed, so I'm affraid I'm not going to have any limes. Could it be that it doesn't get light long enough? I'm not giving it any extra light outside of daylight.

The bergamot seems to be holding its flowers for the moment, but it bloomed a little later than the lime so it may be too soon to cheer.

I purchased my citrus when the weather here was already cold, so they have lived indoors and wil be going out in spring. My tahiti lime started flowering like crazy at the beginning of November and still has fruits growing well on it. Both of my calamondins have just started flowering over the last couple of weeks too.
