I've had some of mine (2) in pots for 17 years (the regular Meyer Lemon)--they are in really large pots (at least 30 gallons for the oldest). I use Epsoma citrus-tone for fertilizing and gradually upsize the pots. They've been just fine to 26F and they are in full sun year round. The two I just got on Feb 12th--can't get to the others right now, thunderstorm. They are already in 24" pots across the top, mulched and settled in, these were taken late yesterday. I use moisture polymer crystals too and Pro mix potting soil (really light weight) and then I seldom water them other than rain and sprinkler until August + September (which are unbelievably hot and humid here).
