How Do You Revive A Frost-Damaged Pink Lemon Tree?
Lemon trees are a popular home and garden crop. Who can resist a glass of fresh lemonaid, or a bowl of homegrown lemons bringing a fresh scent into the kitchen? The biggest problem with this scenario is that lemon trees can take a hit with cold temperatures. Most citrus trees can recover from mild frostbite if you provide the right care. Revive damaged trees and protect them from future cold with these preventative steps. Do not trim off any frost-damaged foliage at this time, as it will provide insulation for the inside of the tree, which is still alive. The damaged foliage will be replaced with new growth if you protect the tree through the rest of the winter. Move the tree into a sheltered location if it’s potted. If you have a garden shed or barn, move the tree inside to protect it from cold temperatures and wind. Protect lemon trees that are planted and must stay outside. Start by watering the tree thoroughly. Include “warm” water from your bathtub. Use bathtub water every night b
