Live on the Alabama Gulf Coast. When should I bring in a potted key lime tree? Hasn't dropped below freezing yet, but hovered at 35 the past two nights.
Thanks.
Thanks.

the answer is always when there is a freeze, but i bring things in anytime it gets below 40, i do that because the cold makes them stop growing and go dormant, which you dont want.

Similar to the poster above, I bring mine in below 40.

I bring mine in below 40 degrees. It is an absolutely thriving and prolific tree and I attribute a lot of that to keeping it warm and with plenty of light in the winter.

Yep, mine sits by the pool too. They love the heat and extra humidity. Plus I can pluck one from the water and squeeze it into my rum drink.
