Lemon tree

Question

Hi
I have just been given lemon tree (already has fruits)
I live in Provence, hot summers, mild day time temps but often cold at night.
Should I pot it or plant it out, if so where?
Many thanks

Answer 1

This will depend on how cold it gets. Citrus can survive down a little below freezing, but they don't like it very much. If it remains above that, then I would say plant it. If it gets too cold, then I would say your best bet would be in container.
