My Flying Dragon Trifoliate Orange Is blooming! >> fruiting!

Tree & fruit look good. How are you going to keep that tree alive in winter cold weather? I miss having a, manderine orange tree, lemon tree, pink grapefruit tree in the yard like I did in Arizona. Only way I know to keep a citrus tree alive in TN is a heated green house all winter. It is common for AZ to get down to 21 degrees at night for 2 weeks in Feb it does not hurt citrus trees. Fruit can stay on citrus trees for 10 months and still be good as the first day it was ripe. If you don't harvest all the fruit by April trees won't blossom and make more fruit the next year. If someone has invented cold weather citrus trees I want some?

are you using the trifoliate orange for rootstock? It is not a true orange and it is mostly used as grafting rootstock for citrus. It is the flying dragon rootstock.
