At a citrus growers meeting several years ago, one of the most successful Zone 8 growers stated that citrus trees die from desiccation more often than they die from freezing. He suggested winter irrigation is more important than trying to keep the trees in above freezing conditions. My potted lemon tree is in full bloom but I bring it inside at 40ºF and water it often especially if the leaves show any sign of drying. Smells nice.
