Citrus UK

that the trees should nonetheless be brought indoors for winter. Can anyone add anything to that picture? Can a kumquat live outdoors in London? Or anywhere in the UK? I'd quite like a citrus tree in the garden but am not sure I want one in the house. I think by Hogroast2

Orange Plant

in Sunny Bristol ? I can place it in my allotment poly tunnel and let others enjoy it as well It will need a frost free place for the winter, with good light levels. That is why we grow apples outside in this country and not citrus I don't think by NewBoy2

Mystery Plant

to magnify it. I'm sure I know it but I'm having a senior moment and it's name escapes me. Isn't it evergreen? If it were deciduous I would have thought it would have lost it's leaves by now. Evergreens still lose leaves and grow new ones but bit by bit by bookmonster
