It looks like your plants really know how to appreciate all the effort and time you put into them. Laughing

Last summer I've top worked one twig of my PT with Yuzu. Last week, few nights were cold and the temperatures reach -12,5C (9.5F) for few hours but we have many hours between -8.5C & -6C (16F & 21F). I'm not protecting the tree, here are few photos from today:

No problem for Yuzus at -12°C.

@citrom: I hope! Very Happy

@Sylvain: Thanks! I better keep my fingers crossed. Laughing

If Yuzu survive this winter, then I'm thinking to try satsuma in the near future. Rolling Eyes

At -10°C (14 F) many satsumas die. At -12°C (10 F) all satsumas die.
Yuzu survive at -15°C (5 F). They are much hardy than Satsumas.

Many thanks Sylvain!
Yes, I know that Yuzu is much hardier then satsumas.
Satsuma will get protection and also automatic heating system if the temps goes below -5/-6C. Wink

Anyway it's just a project yet. Laughing

I'm hoping that spring is here! Laughing

Some of my citrus trees goes out and will stay there.
20C degree and sunshine!
