My key lime has been exposed to 2 nights of frost. First night 31f (0.5c) and last night at 29.5f (-1.3c). It seems unfazed although I understand these aren't likely to take too much more of a drop in temperature. Am I pushing my luck? What's the point where I sould be concerned? Cheers, LPN.
It is my understanding that true key limes will not take much, if any frost. Does your plant have any fruit? I dont have a Key lime, - are those the small limes about 2.5 cm (1 inch) in diameter? I think you may have been lucky - so far! All my outdoor citrus looks ok as well :) Greg
Ya, that's the one with the golf ball sized limes. No fruit yet. This looks mint dispite the cool temps. I think I'll re-locate it if we get cold temps like this again. Cheers, LPN
