Hi Tee,

What a wonderful article. I thought I'd start a new comment thread since the other was so long. I guess there are many citrus lovers out there! LOL

I love all citrus. We use so much, that I really want to grow my own! Actually, I have various citrus trees, I've kept them in pots so far; except the lime went in the ground this year; next year the 3 yr. old calamondin and kumquat are going in the ground. Like you said, they are more cold tolerant than most. No fruit yet, but it takes between 3-5 years before they produce... I'm almost there!

Thank you for a great article.

Thanks, Christine. It sounds like you are, indeed, almost there. Lucky you. And citrus fruits are just so colorful ... perfect for this time of year when color is often at a minimum.
