Citruus tree advert

There's an advert in the Radio Times for "perfect orange and lemon
trees that will thrive and grow like crazy in your garden here in UK".
It says they will survive "severe frosts down to -5 C or you pay
nothing."
They call them "Navelina Orange" and "Eureka lemon".
The company is GardenBargains.com
Not having a greenhouse or conservatory I've never had a lemon tree.
Any opinions? Any advice? Has anyone grown these? I'm quite tempted,
but it seems too good to be true.
I see other firms are selling Eureka lemon. Dobies want nearly £50.
This firm ask £29.99.
Only one of my lemons looks a bit unhappy - the leadline sort-of too up
smoking and the temperature in the greenhouse went under -4°C for a
couple of days and nights.
A friend who was brought up in a mountainous region of Sith Effrica had
a lemon tree outside his door. It was snowed on each winter, lost all
its leaves, but never failed to provide a crop.
So, I'd go fo it - if you can't find a cheaper source.
