Very good result!
A question: doesn't the temperature get to high when the sun shines?
I've been warned when putting them in a regular greenhouse so I suspected that the temp rising during sunny days would be enormous. Or not? |

The temperature is in range +15 C (at night) +34 C (in day). The ground prevent overheating. |

I was more aiming at the winter temperatures. 
Here it can be really cold but when the sun starts shining this gives a huge temp change. |

I thought that citrus would throw of their leaves if they didn't get sunlight for a longer period. Thought wrong I guess. |

Citruses will be able to stay without sunlight atleast 3-4 months if the temperature in range +2 +5 C. |

Serj-
Thanks for these posts- I have been watching with interest.
What about the fruits overwintering?
Do they delay their ripening process while dormant?
Does the fruit quality seem okay in the Spring?

serj ...what's new ?
I did built a greenhouse , but no $$ for extra layer so I made an extension to my house to keep them there.
Maybe next year now I will finish the greenhouse , or trying to make a underground greenhouse
I will see.
