Can A Meyer Lemon Tree Be Planted Outdoors In Corvallis, Oregon Successfully?

Question

I’ve had my Lemon tree since it was 3” tall. Now it is 2 1/2’ tall. I would like to plant it outdoors, but it seems to be sensitive to the cold in winter. Is it possible to plant it outdoors?

Answer 1

It should be fine. You are in hardiness zone 8b, and meyer lemons are hardy in zones 8b to 11. You may want to give it some winter protection, though.
