Ya, you would need some kind of cold season greenhouse for that, Ali. Kumquats might be good for that situation.

I was going to move up to the Cortez, Colorado area a couple of years back, it didn't work out, and I looked into growing citrus up there because I didn't want to hand over my prize navel orange tree to a bulldozer. I even went to all the trouble of getting his sour orange rootstock to grow a sucker branch to start a new tree, and grafted him over as an exact clone.

The clone started making fruit this year, by the way.

I suppose, with a heated greenhouse, sour oranges could be grown in parts of Scotland...
