It's predicted to get 29 degrees tonight. My question is that My Meyer Lemon has started to show lots of small flower buds recently if you look really close. I would love for these to bloom so I don't want them to get destroyed by the cold. Problem is we are getting some more unseasonably cold weather. Will 29 degrees destroy the flower buds? Its likely to only dip down to 29 briefly if it does. Should I cover it up tonight?

oh yes cover them up and pamper them alot , any degree of weather under 32 can damage any new growth

Thanks, I covered it up but the temps only went to 33. Better safe than sorry.

Meyer lemon is good to about 24 degrees F. without being severly damaged but if in flower it is wise ot cover and heat. The flowers wneed to be protected from frost.

Temperatures under 30 F for 3 or more hours could damage flowers if they are open.
