It was  destroyed up to the roots, started to grow next summer, but was killed  the following winter.
Best regards,

That is bad news. I read they made grafts after the first winter, but never read anything about it again.
At least it is not the hardy mandarin one was hoping for.

I bet it was a hardy citrus, just not hardy enough to live in Washington DC, which is way out of citrus territory.
