However if you're anywhere in East Anglia I have a few spare yearling
lemon trees.

Do you manage to grow the lemon trees outside?
Or do they have to come in for the winter?
Not sure how frost hardy they are, but we seem to be doing pretty well so
far on the Suffolk Coast; not one hard frost.


Apart from somewhere like David Poole's small walled garden, which has its
own micro-climate, I think you'd be *very* lucky to over-winter one with
certainty. We 'only' go to -5, sometimes and rarely -7 here but we wouldn't
risk them outside.
