Cold Protection for Plants
And the weather is indeed changing. Temperatures close to freezing along with scattered frost are near, with the lowest temperatures occurring near dawn. What does this mean for our landscapes? It means it's time to put into action our winter protection plans.

THE GROWING OF DOORYARD CITRUS
The Citrus family offers the Dooryard grower the advantages of easy growth, beautifully decorative plants and a bountiful yield of deliciously healthful fruit. There are citrus varieties that can be grown as dooryard fruit in every part of Florida, but the home grower should choose those varieties that have a reasonable chance of doing well in the climate area of the homestead. The Citrus choices for northern Florida growers are somewhat limited, but there is a large selection of types and varieties of citrus from which central and southern growers may choose.
