Re: Citrus in Canada
I would estimate that temps would rarely ever drop below -6°C in this region. This Meyer lemon is along a back fence with a glass panel overhead covering. This keeps the weather elements off the tree. Lemon trees don't require much heat to ripen, unlike grapefruit and oranges etc. The rest of Bob's ...

Re: Eucalyptus drive by.

Re: Cycas revoluta colour change?.
I have a nice potted Cycas revoluta that I intend on planting out next spring. I've had the thing for about 5 years and is inadvertantly featured in this video. I leave it out most of the winter, only moving it during a nasty cold weather event.
Cheers, Barrie.
