I am thinking of trying to grow Yuzu (Citrus junos).  Can anyone comment
on their experience with this frost tolerant citrus.

 I am particularly interested in if it has a pleasant flavor (I
understand that it is sour and primarily used for zest, flavoring and
juice).

I also would like to know if I could reasonable expect it to be free of
pests and diseases in humid, hot central NC.

Could I plant it outside of my fenced orchard - will deer leave a mature
tree alone?

It is advertised as surviving temps to 10 degrees F.  I live firmly in
zone 7.
