Clementine cold tolerance?

[a_Vivaldi]

Out of curiosity, does anyone here have much experience with the cold tolerance of clementines?

When grown in zone 7 and below they will need some  protection from cold events.

A hybrid between Clementine and Poncirus failed to survive in Zone 6b. It had a trunk diameter of 2.5 inches.

I have a chip bud graft on my arctic frost which I provide no protection to so we will see this winter. Also I have a clementine on its own on the west side of my house also without protection but it’s a naturally protected spot so this winter I will let you know. If you need some buds I’ll have some for you likely next summer.

I had a graft of Clemenules on my Keraji in ground and with frostclothprotection
the clemenules graft survived -11° C and some frost days.

Wow, that's like 12 in freedom degrees. I guess the first cloth and the rootstock helped a good bit, but still.

Yes I also think rootstock Poncirus helped and plant
already good established ( 4 years in ground)
