Christmas Day Citrus Update

Christmas Day Citrus UpdateWe have officially reached 31° with a “feels like 25°” and brilliant SUN so we uncovered the citrus babies and they look a tad wilty and no detectable frost damage! Pulled 2 giant icicles off! They looked thirsty and had a flash to pit a ProBio5 in a gallon pitcher of RO water, mixed well and gave them a small drink. We will keep them uncovered and in sunshine for 2 1/2 ish hours and recover for a significantly warmer night, hitting 18°. Citrus can damage at 28° and below – although these varieties can hit the teens and survive at 15°. We had temps up to 20-25 degrees LOWER than that, including 2 nights of wind chill BELOW zero, in the negatives!
