\r\n\r\nFollowing is a list of citrus categories\r\n<\/strong>\r\nranked by susceptibility to cold damage. Many factors influence whether a tree will be damaged by freezing temperatures: location, age of the tree, length of time the temperature is at its coldest, whether temperatures have been cool enough for the tree to be hardened, to name just a few. Fruit on a tree will be damaged if temperatures reach 26-28\u00ba for at least four hours.
