Here are two photos of a gentleman's Minneola Tangelo, loaded with fruit, in VA, Beach! VA Beach is a zone 8 climate. He started the tree (grafted to trifoliate) in a sunken heated greenhouse (max 42 degrees) many years ago. A shoot grew through a panel in the roof and has rarely died back from the cold. He says the fruit is not always sweet before a heavy frost forces him to pick it!

A good part of the tree is still within the greenhouse.
