Growing Lime Trees - Tiki Drinks and Food

They flowered and budded all through the 'harsh' Florida winter, lol. Really though, citrus just needs lots of sun, water, and warmth. So if you could get a big enough pot, you could theoretically bring the small tree in during the winter. Of course you would then need some sort of lighting on it during the winter... I know at Epcot Center (Disney) here in Florida, they have an area called The Land that has a huge hydroponic area with lemon trees. It basically just a climate controlled greenhouse.
