I must be a freak of nature, my “perfect temp” is 96 to 102. I absolutely detest the cold much like most of my trees

After a couple trips to the Middle East I was of the thought that if it isn't 110 it isn't too hot.
Then I turned 40 and now it's down to 90.
Cold is about the same story.

Going down to 41 degrees tonight.
All the tropicals have been migrated to their winter quarters

We had some frost in the yard this morning but the trees are up by the house and were fine. The BRT's did show some anger and didn't open their leaves fully today. I brought them in for the night. Next week back to the mid to high 70's and lows in the 50's. So I think I have another week for sure.

yea it just gets to the point that I dont want to have to worry about them outside any more.
Too many other fall chores to worry about so if I can get one off the list, it helps
No more putting it off, it's going to get cold. I got 2 of the 4 shelving units set up with the lights and about half of the trees inside. The other half come in tomorrow after work. Saturday the regular plants like the hibiscus, gardenias and the orange tree are coming in. Mondays low is supposed to be 27.

Just waiting on led lights and some drip trays but mine finally made it into their winter abode. Once I get the drip trays I want I’ll get them better organized.

Looks like 83 plants. Nice setup and trees.

I'm not going nuts on it this year with my indoor trees.
Mostly just keeping them in a window. TBH the species I've had did great that way before I tried to get fancy (mostly ficus / bougainvillea).
I have a light under a bookshelf that I think does a good job on the ones I want to baby. I love the setups here though! Gives me ideas.

I have been told that it is best to give them a dormancy, but as others have said their lowest temp is higher than you want most of your other dormant trees to be at (I think like 45 degrees? I forget - I think olives are roughly the same, but also forget exactly).
People seem to grow them successfully indoors but I'm not sure for how long or what impact it has long term. This is all hearsay so grain of salt. @bonhe would know for sure.

It's at least a little bit inevitable for early birds. My Yuri hime JM always leafs out at least a month before my other JMs. Which sucks when there's another month of frost to navigate.
No way I could provide somewhere that's 45 degrees. I've kept them inside for a couple of years, hasn't seemed to be detrimental.

Well I'd put experience over hearsay - you know better than me!

I keep my deciduous in the cold frame until I know we are past the possibility of frost.
I leave it open unless there is a prediction for frost or a freak spring freeze. If that happens then I cover the cold frame which takes 5 minutes to do.
I just have too many of them to rush to get them in after work if we get a freak frost/freeze predicted and most of the time I leave too early in the morning for it to be warm enough to get them out so might as well leave them there until its safe for them to be out 24/7

Pomegranate supposes to grow all year around, but in the cold area, it has no choice to go to dormancy. So, if you can give it suitable temperature, it can grow in winter. I let all my pomegranates go to dormancy. The reason is that, I can see its structure well when there are no leaves, so that I can enjoy them in 4 seasons; besides, that is best time to prune unnecessary branches and put some wire as needed. In contrast with other trees, pomegranate is very safe to wire in winter in my experience.
