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.
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 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.

Life lesson: If you’re being chased by a lion, you’re on a horse, to the left of you is a giraffe and on the right is a unicorn, what do you do? You stop drinking and get off the carousel.
