I'd really REALLY like to grow this plant, but it only goes to zone 6. I was wondering if I could try to keep it in a pot and maybe put it in the garage over winter? It can get quite big, so I'd have to keep it pruned down and hopefully it could live with that. I suppose I could bring it into the house but it wouldn't get the kind of light that it would need inside so I was thinking dormant would be easier on the plant than dim indoor lighting in a MN winter.

Alternatively, I could put it in our screened in porch and maybe wrap it with some plant blanket for the winter. I'm not sure if that would keep it alive.

Thanks!

I'm not sure this tree would appreciate a dormant period. Since it is listed as "filtered light," I'd go with some lights for the winter. I run 21 fixtures of t5 HO, 6500K. One can do almost anything with enough light (and the right temps and humidity.) 2 winter ago I did Citrus trees. Had 1-2 Citrus fruits a week all winter long to eat. Gene

Ugh. Did you say TWENTY ONE fixtures? That's not going to happen. Maybe I don't need this tree so much...

Thanks for the advice Gene!

You only need one fixture. I have 1850 pots of house plants that I over winter in my small, dark house. Gene
