I am contemplating planting a Harvey lemon in the ground. I bought it from Stan McKenzie a couple of years ago. I have had pretty good success with Meyer lemons - So, with everything being equal, should the Harvey be less cold hardy, about the same or more cold hardy than a meyer lemon?
I also have a Ichang lemon - I could throw into the mix - how does that variety fare in the cold?

Thanks in advance!

Greg
