Lemon Tree, very pretty

after a summer outside my lemon trees are in for the winter. in the middle is a fig I'm growing from a cutting taken from one of my fig trees

I have never had one inside but do have a couple on my sun porch and several on my vacation property.

I have a friend in Texas whose lemon tree got so big she couldn't roll it in and out any more. Then I think she mulched high up, but there was a winter so bad it died.
@Poppies will try pruning it back as it grows

@saragoodtimes good luck!
@Poppies have a 10 foot ceiling in my sunroom. if I can keep it that height I'll be happy
Good!! I’m also planning on moving my plants indoors by end of this week.
@Vivaci had an early frost Sunday, didn't think they would survive it. love having plants indoors anyway
@saragoodtimes Reminds me of last year when I lost 80% of my plants overnight 😩

My tree has a lemon that's almost ripe.
@Tastyfrzz grew mine from lemon seeds from Aldi's lemons. not expecting them to ever give fruit

@saragoodtimes I plantedine in '83.
@Tastyfrzz mine are barely a year now

When do they produce fruit?
@icedsky had frost Sunday but was dropping in the low 40's so I brought them in just to be safe
@icedsky got pricked a few times by them. sure hurt like hell

@saragoodtimes thorns are about two inches long and tipped with something that burns like crazy. I wrap my tree up on blankets when I move it.

Those look ace Sara. What are you going to do when they get too big to bring inside?
@Oneofthestormboys have my husband buy me a bigger house with high ceilings

I put my plants in the garage
@MarineBob that's fine if you want them to go dormant. I like green inside in the winter and my figs give me fruit around March
MarineBob · 56-60, M
@saragoodtimes garage temperature is kept at 72° and has plenty of natural light
@MarineBob we keep ours at 60. the cars warm quicker on cold days

You can have a lemon party!

If you have to Winter them inside what are you going to do when they become too large to do this or will they then be able to withstand the cold by that time?
@REMsleep it's to cold in winter in Pa to leave them out. if they get to big Alan will have to buy me a bigger house
