If we are talking about the same thing; it sounds like they don't like frost, likely freezing even less. From Wikipedia: "The citron tree is very vigorous with almost no dormancy, blooming several times a year, and is therefore fragile and extremely sensitive to frost." I haven't heard of any around here.

We us to have them when ground was worked up for summer fallow. Now with vineyards everywhere you look,have not seen one in 20 years. Wink Anything that you don't want or care about some old seed will sprout in 10 years or 10,000 years LOL they never go away.




Wink There were some Shameless people in this country would try to fool people into thinking they were watermelons.LOL Is this citron one of the fruits put in fruit cake,Wink that nobody eats and just sends it on to others next Chirstmas?


I am 1/2 way between Fruity (SF) and Nutty (LA) so am not really north of you. I would think they would grow about the same places as watermelons.

Wink My Wonderfully says yes you can. Cause I asked her the fruitcake question. She says the pell is dried and then used in the fruitcake. Where the real bitter taste comes from. She had no idea about the inside parts.

Yep Citeron oil filter fits onto my Norton Commando - that's the only one i know of - then finding one anywhere here is next to impossible
