Hi !
I am from Vienna, the capital of Austria in Europe and EU.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vienna
Due to our frosty climate (last winter was - 28 ° C), I have all Citrus in pots.
Both buyed and grown from seeds.
I am looking for australian native citrus seeds and hybrids and other rare stuff like variegated sorts.
Winter hardy stuff would also be interesting, but only if it produces well tasting fruits.
C ya l8r !  |

Welcome to the forum. You will not find anything that is hardy to - 28 ° C to be edible.

yes, the sea cools the air in the summer and heats it in the winter.

That is one of the reasons I liked to live at the sea ...
The other is that you can look out in a imaginery eternity and have such great sunrise and dawn there ... |

you forgot to mention most important reason of living at the sea. watching your citrus growing and developing in front of you, and watching them getting their first flowers and fruits.
