      I love citrus trees, but here, where I live they don’t survive… we have frosts of 10 and 12 below zero at night. I am making some attempts in pots, so that the tree can be sheltered under cover… in the meantime, nothing like having friends from nicer areas. These lemons have arrived from Extremadura. Moroccan preserved lemons coming soon 🍋😍.

        This year with the frost everything is burnt, looking forward to seeing your preserved lemons

        beatriz, what beautiful lemons! 🍋 🍋🍋🍋.They look fresh and with a very aromatic skin, ideal for making preserves. It’s very interesting how you try to grow citrus in such a cold climate, have you tried more cold hardy varieties or small greenhouses? I would love to know how you prepare preserved lemons, do you follow the traditional Moroccan recipe with salt or do you use some special method?
        Regards.

          @Sussan Estela Olaya yo creo que con los cítricos no hay variedad que resista esto, son árboles de climas más suaves. Piden sol y calor. Los limones en conserva sí, los hago al estilo tradicional de Marruecos 😉

        citrus lover over here too! 🍋✨ I can’t resist a good sour touch, not to mention those citrus scents that transport you. What a story about those traveling lemons, almost an international gastronomic tour! 🌍🌞 I’m intrigued by that potted effort against the Siberian frosts you mention, quite a challenge worthy of a chef! Have you tried any extra tricks, like thermal covers or specific pruning techniques for the extreme cold? There’s always culinary and botanical ingenuity to be discovered. 💡🌱

        Olé those lemons! It’s great to have such generous friendships. I’m sure you give them a good life 😉.
