re: how much cold can a Satsuma tree tolerate?

Boat, just an fyi - If your tree does not make it and you have to replant, might want to plant it further from the house. In a few years the tree will be pushing up against the house and might not have enough room. When planting multiple trees, recommended distance apart is about 15 feet. I guess this would also apply to distance from buildings.

My lime tree looks like complete shite, but my meyer lemons and satsumas look ok. A couple years ago my satsumas lost all of their leaves, but ended up coming back great in the spring. I think it's ok unless you have well below freezing temps for an extended amount of time.

if you live near a billboard company such as lamar or marco etc... go to their office and ask them for scrap used billboards...
they make great citrus tree covers for cold...

Don't think so. How does an ice cream maker work then? You can't make ice cream at 32 degrees. You lower the freezing point of water with salt, so that your water/slush around your canister is equal to the freezer temperature you got the ice from (well below 32F, usually 0F but not frozen because of the salt). Ice slush in an ice chest of drinks is near/at 32F. You'll never freeze ice cream with that. I've tried. Water has to be much colder than 32.
Insulation property of ice is correct though.
Colder than 32
