I recently got a Satsuma Mandarin Orange Tree. I was advised to not re-pot it until it had finished with the fruit it was already growing. I placed it outside on my balcony intending to have it as a potted Citrus. However, we had a very cold day and I neglected to bring it in.

The leaves have curled up a bit and are now drying off and falling. Some other leaves are still bright green (others have yellow patches but not too many do). The branches and trunk are green with bits of brown but nothing too out of the ordinary.

Recently some of the fruit have seemed to dry out as well (not all of them). I have the tree in my room where it is warm. I worry about the dryness. And while I've been googling a lot- I feel like I want more definite answers from people with experience.

I know the cold has gotten to it, would spraying the leaves with water help with humidity or do I need to just let it be as it tries to recover? Am I completely mis-diagnosing it?

Thanks so much,

~Ashley
