| I'm at my mother-in-law's in Lubbock and she has brought her dwarf pomagrante tree into her sunroom for the winter. The leaves are turning yellow and falling off. Why is this? Is it deciduous? |

| It could be too much water and/or not enough light. Also, make sure the plant doesn't receives hot air from the heating system (if any). Omar |

They are deciduous and most varieties are hardy to about 15 deg. My dwarf survived 17 deg. last winter with no damage.

| Mine has been inground for 7 years, and has survived ALL the winters, including last year's, with the prolonged freezing weather. |

| Mine...I never worried about it for years now. Cold, no problem. But of course, it's in the ground...potted plant might be a bit different |

| The one at my mom's house survived 3 degrees. It was in ground and well established. |

| My neighbor's plant in down town Austin survived the great cold front of '87 where it got down to 3 degrees. |
