Anyone growing it in the UK outside? Or even like Citrus, outside all spring
summer autumn and under cover for the winter?


I am joining this thread late because I have been on holiday.

There is a "nana" version, and it is much smaller than the large ones you see
for example in italy.

I have one which I have grown for a few years now in a 10" pot. It spends the
Summer outside in front of my summerhouse. In the autumn I let it dry off,
and the pot spends the winter under the bench in the greenhouse. In the
Spring it shoots, is given a light trim and goes back outside.

It always flowers, and in East Anglia I have had small fruit some years.
