Citrus won't grow with nights 55F or lower at least where I live near Houston

I have only recently discovered this variety and I’m able to buy one. Ive been wanting a New Zealand for a while, so I’m wondering, since this is a sweet lemon, does this one compare? A good substitute for a sweet lemon?
So Im attempting to graft for the first time this year...I currently have about 30 trifoliate seedlings I started last fall(Thanks to a member here offering me some free seeds.. So awesome!!) , They are about 6 inches tall and very thin...My question is are they to young to graft? If so when would be a better age?..Thanks Everyone
Usually 2 years for trifoliata & flying dragon. Same year or the following for swingle.
Kelley, how can you tell that the buds aren't blind. Do they look different from blind buds?
MrTexas said this: "You can usually tell if the lowest buds are blind or not by inspecting to make sure there is a bud there." But this statement didn't make sense to me. Unless "blind bud" literally means a junction (leaf junction?) on a piece of wood without a bud in the junction.
NZL has an upward growth habit. Much like a lemon tree.
Mark in Texas can tell you about the citrus bureau there. They get it from CCPP and both CCPP and they tack on a nice surcharge. $150 budwood.
Someone contacted CCPP recently and told me they will have it again in June.
