In this video, I share 4 astonishing citrus trees that thrive in cold climates! Citrus trees are not tropical trees. Most are from subtropical highlands, and many varieties of cold hardy citrus thrive in places with cold winters and will grow in northern climates! The challenges is finding the best citrus varieties that tolerate cold and produce the highest quality fruit. Don't worry: I've done a lot of the work for you! There are many high quality citrus varieties that are cold tolerant to Zone 8, maybe even Zone 7, when given winter cold protection. Roughly half the population of the United States live in Zone 8 or warmer, meaning countless millions of Americans can be growing citrus trees in ground in their location and don't know it!
