Wintering Fruit Trees

Question

I have a pink varigated eureka lemon tree and a loquat tree. They are both in planters. When I got them I lived in Savannah, GA. So leaving them outside during the winter then wasn’t a big deal. Now I live in NJ about an hour from NYC. I know being in a planter as opposed to being in the ground can change things. Do I need to bring them inside for the winter?

Answer 1

You are in zone 6 so you need to bring the trees inside where it stays above freezing. Only water about once a month. You are only trying to get them through the winter. Here is more on their care:
