It is important to understand how cold temperatures affect citrus trees. Among the citrus types most easily killed or damaged by freezing weather are citrons, lemons and limes. … Citrus fruits easily freeze at 26 to 28 degrees when these temperatures occur for several hours.
Are lemons still good after a frost?
Smaller fruits, such as lemons and limes, tend to freeze more quickly than larger fruits, such as oranges or grapefruits. … Fruit that has been frozen can be salvaged for juice if it is harvested quickly, but freeze-damaged citrus fruit eventually becomes dry and unpalatable.
When should lemons be picked?
Lemons are ready to pick as soon as they are yellow or yellow-green in appearance and firm. The fruit will be 2 to 3 inches (5-7.5 cm.) in size. It’s better to wait until they are the right size and not worry so much about the color than to wait for them to be completely yellow.
