Will miniature citrus trees grow well indoors in western Wisconsin?
I would like to grow a couple of miniature citrus trees indoors. I live in west-central Wisconsin, and the winters are long with a lot of cloudy days. My home has quite a few large windows, particularly on the east side. The only window on the south side is a double window over my kitchen sink. Will citrus trees grow and thrive in western Wisconsin, or will they not get enough sunlight in the winter to do well?

I take my citrus plants inside during the winter in North Texas. They are very tolerant of indoor living as long as they get some sunlight. Even your large E. windows should work. They drop sticky dew during the winter so you may want to put plastic under their wing span. You should take them outside when the temps stay over 45 degrees day and night. They love being outside in the sun for the summer. Then back inside when it goes below 45.

If you have a large enough greenhouse or sun room - yes. They go a little dormant during the shorter days but live very well if given enough sunlight or artificial light and are kept warm enough (above 70F would be ideal) In your setting, it would work if the window faces south but do not place the plants to close to the window so they get cold when it drops below 32F.
