Default Re: How many of you grow oranges? Looking for tips/advise

mulching around the bottom of citrus trees in the winter is not the best ideal. The reason is that water gives off its heat slowly.If mulch is at the bottom of the tree in winter then this will stop the damp soil from giving off its heat at night.Also the sweeter the fruit the more heat they require.Lemons can take colder temps then oranges.I studied ag at the university of Florida and also at the university of Kentucky.I use to farm and wanted the knowledge.
