4 CITRUS TREES Northern Gardeners Can Actually Grow!

In this video, I share 4 citrus trees northern gardeners can actually grow! Most people think citrus trees are tropical and not cold hardy, but most citrus trees are actually from subtropical highlands. There are many varieties of cold hardy citrus! Here are 4 cold tolerant citrus trees that millions of northern gardeners are unaware they can grow!

There are many high quality citrus varieties that are cold tolerant to Zone 8. Roughly half the population of the United States live in Zone 8 or warmer, meaning countless millions of Americans have the ability to grow citrus trees in ground in their location and don't know it!

Growing citrus trees in Zone 8 will require some protection on the coldest nights of the year, but protecting fruit trees is easy with my cold protection methods outlined here:    • Cold, Frost And Heat Protection
