At What Point Do I Protect Meyer Lemon Tree from Cold?
So I have a recently planted (3 weeks ago) meyer lemon and next monday it is supposed to get down to 36 so should I cover it? If I need to I will put some stakes in so I can just throw something over if I need to. I normally would not worry about it but since it is such a new tree and such a small tree I am thinking that it might help it just perform better this winter if I cover it overnight. Thanks guys!

I don't have to worry about it getting too cold, but this might be helpful to you.

So I have been covering the tree most nights for about the past week with an old sheet and placing a large bucket of hot water in the "tent". That was recommended by a person with a large collection of citrus to make sure there is adequate humidity inside. This morning I woke up and the lawn was all frosty and I even had to scrape the windshield but so far the tree looks good.
