I have a Meyer lemon, Persian lime and a mandarin orange tree. All do
perfectly in this climate. In fact, my cup runneth over, so if you want
some of the bounty, let me know and when we head up the hill, I'll have some
for ya. All except the oranges, it's the firsst year and there are so few
of them.

TammyM, still making plans to plant that Satuma tree come Spring
