Okay, my strategy for overwintering my citrus orchard did not exactly work to plan.
How it started:
How it’s going:
I was getting conflicting information on
what to do about the dwarf trees—take them inside for the winter; no—trees need
a dormant period, leave them out but insulate their roots. And given the
winters we’ve had for the previous three years or so, it seemed safe to go the
latter route.
However, once we got that extended period
of below-freezing temperatures last month, my hopes, well—they basically froze.
So I’ll have to try again this year.
Interestingly, my gardenia bush made it through fine, and I didn’t even bubblewrap it. Perhaps the clue is the larger pot?
