Your tree looks great, your makeshift greenhouse is very effective

Nice looking trees.  How old are they?

Nice trees, good overwintering. What deepest temperature have your kumquats to support in the greenhouse ?

I don't have a thermometer in the greenhouse.  I used 3 daylight CFL's up to February then I put a Pelonis disk heater set at 50F.  March I turned it up to 55F and removed it in April.
