It is a Myer Lemon Tree, I planted it in the yard this past spring as I cant keep it in the house, so I am looking at making sure it survives the winter outdoors. I was thinking of running an extension cord with the Christmas light idea to help it stay warm, I also have some movers blankets that I planned on wrapping around the base. Do you think I should be okay with those ideas?Drewnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051633486819426115.post-91220683068263160342016-11-17T08:50:26.431-08:002016-11-17T08:50:26.431-08:00Hello Drew,

I have a Myer Lemon Tree that I just bought a small green house for. Was just curious if it was worth the money. I like the Christmas Lights idea and was thinking of wrapping the trunk with cardboard and covering the base with a blanket. Sound good?Drewnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051633486819426115.post-2687961157546074562011-04-05T20:29:30.593-07:002011-04-05T20:29:30.593-07:00I live in Goldsboro NC, and I grow ponderosa lemon...I live in Goldsboro NC, and I grow ponderosa lemons, ambersweet orange, myer lemons, and 2 tangerine trees. I grew the tangerine trees from seed and the rest where grafted. I keep all the trees covered with plastic from dec 15 to about first week of feb each year. I have great fruit each year off of each tree. had my trees for about 11 years now. PS: christmas lights work good for heat at night and i turn them off at day even if its really cold out. the sun heats the inside of the clear plastic.chipmunkhole1@yahoo.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051633486819426115.post-50455436372478086192011-02-09T18:05:35.926-08:002011-02-09T18:05:35.926-08:00Hey Beachbum.

I am not sure where you live, but you can check some of the local garden centers in your area.<br />I looked online at some of the places that usually have them, everybody seems to be out. If I stumble across any, I will let you know.Darrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09174646683640212162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051633486819426115.post-59814228061706953262011-02-08T18:06:34.070-08:002011-02-08T18:06:34.070-08:00Where can I buy Juanita Tangerine trees?Where can I buy Juanita Tangerine trees?tlt1https://www.blogger.com/profile/03958523054516765372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051633486819426115.post-37355918543926546142010-08-24T13:33:47.845-07:002010-08-24T13:33:47.845-07:00I'm an edible gardener new to coastal South Ca...I'm an edible gardener new to coastal South Carolina, and I found your post by searching for "satsuma tangerine carolina". I was hoping to be able to grow at least one variety of citrus in my yard, and I think that it's fantastic that you're growing 51 varieties! Neat stuff. :)Sharleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07350312479963703020noreply@blogger.com
