This is straight up copied from citrus.forumup.org, because I was trying to get some help and got a PM from Millet that things are shutting down. So, here it is again:
I've got a spot on the south side of my garage that gets decent sun. The garage is a 40x60 metal building. The well is also nearby, not sure if that matters. It's about a 30 foot gap between the garage and the treeline, so very sheltered.
Anyways, I'm SE of Richmond VA, zone 7B.
I'm looking to put a couple citrus in the ground, probably build some light frames so I can protect if needed.
Here's what I have at the moment:
Yuzu (seedling -15" tall)
Sudachi (seedling - 15" tall)
Nagami Kumquat (on PT or some trifoliate hybrid)
No-ID mandarin/Mandarinquat from HT (on some sort of PT/PT like)
Cara Cara on Carizzo
Washington Navel on C35
Washington Navel (Not sure rootstock -from Home Depot)
Meyer lemon on PT
Frost Owari Satsuma on Carizzo
Sanbokan (from cutting)
Panzarella Orange (from cutting)
Key Lime (from cutting)
What stuff has the best chance of surviving? I've got a 40' long wall, so could be a couple of trees.
I know a bunch of these have no chance outside (key lime, meyer, etc), but if any of them do have a chance of surviving by themselves, or with some protection (large cold frame?) I'd love to know what your opinions are.
