I hope he'll agree you can have a few if you spread them out.

Much to be proud of, Christine! It looks great.

It may struggle some when you move it inside when temps start to drop below 40 degrees F. That's the downside of moving plants outside in summer. When leaves first emerge they are adapted to the light they receive at that location. The more direct sun you can provide indoors the easier the adjustment will be. Expect some leaf loss in the center and lower portions of the tree after it has been inside.

Your tree will also respond well to pruning if space is an issue indoors.

Thanks Will, I'm not looking forward to bringing the grapefruit & my elephant ear in again,my living room is cram packed with plants over the winter 😲 but I wouldn't want it any other way 😎🥀

Do you have a mostly unused guest room? I pack my guest room full of plants and add plant lights for the ones that aren't near windows. Then when guests come it's a scramble to move the plants all over the house until they leave.

I wish I did Karen, I only have a 1 bedroom apartment, the back of my living room is the only place with the south facing window.

Well, it's worth it to keep your plants safe during winter. It's a small sacrifice of your space but definitely worth making. I do that too. It gets harder every year because my greenhouse, spare bedroom and living room are full of plants!
