Growing Fruit Trees Inside

Question

I have recently left Southern California for Northern Idaho. Is it possible to grow dwarf lemon trees here? Could I leave outside during the spring and summers and bring inside ? Obviously they would be in pots that can be rolled in?

Answer 1

Yes, you can do this if you can keep them warm enough. Your zone is not a favorite of lemons, but with proper care you should be able to grow them. You are in zone 6; this article addresses growing them in zone 7, so you'll need to be extra cautious:
