much below 60 and I would bring them in to prevent bud drop. Other than that I don`t bring mine in unless a hard freeze is predicted, even then there are a bunch that stay in the ground. Prior to Ike mine went through a couple of hard freezes-lost tips on one slaughter pink, some damage to a trunk from snow-again slaughter pink and that is about it. They will drop their leaves when they get too cold. Tally Ho!

I don't know what to tell you either but wanted to give a little support for you and your hubby. I hope he is recovering nicely! I always wrap things in sheets and blankets if I'm afraid they will freeze. I also put any pots I may have (which aren't many) on the side of my house that is sheltered from the north wind. There is quite a temp difference in that area and that's where they spend the winter. That may not work at your place, though.

How often should i water it during the winter months? It came planted in free draining soil. Should i just water when the leaves start to droop? Also it recently started to flower again. One bloom is not a very small fruit and there are a few buds that are still swelling and have yet to open. Do you think it will hold on to the fruit while inside for the winter? here is a pic of it when i first got it back in early April. It is still in the same pot but it has grew a little. Also when i was at a garden center this past weekend, they had the same kind of trees in the same pots but the trunks were much thicker that mine so i dont think i will worry about repotting for a while!

No kidding! Hobby, it's frustrating. My weather has been just nuts..I had to bring them in for a week after having them outside for a week a couple of weeks ago..It was warmer then than now. So, they have all leafed out and now I have to bring them back in for next week because I am suppose to get snow and way below temps..Can't win! Bahama, you are SO lucky!
