Citrus and Cold

July 19th, 2008 AndrewD

Need some citrus, need some help.

Yes I know we get cold winds and frost in Yass, but someone must have grown citrus in these sort of climates (or I hoe so). My idea is to find some citrus in September, plant them out and hopefully they will be strong enough to withstand the winter here. At night I will bag the trees to help keep the frost off. Also I am planning to place the citrus in the middle of the orchard so that hopefully they get a little protection from the apples and pears etc.

So I am looking for a lemon, orange, lime and mandarin. Any help/ideas greatly appreciated
