I have a satsuma tree that I planted outside around 2 years ago. It's no taller than a meter and doesnt really like the climate it's in. It can handle cold weather but sheds like crazy whenever it gets hit by rain. Just wondering whether I should give it it's own little greenhouse to protect it from rain and keep it ( a bit ) warm. Not fixed to the ground, just a sort of cone made out of PVC see through plastic and wood. What do you think?
>>56 (OP) You could absolutely make a sort of "Cold frame" around it. You could do it for pretty damn cheap too if you lurk the FREE STUFF boards like CraigsList and OfferUp over the spring/summer/fall The way to go is to watch for windows that Boomers and fix-n-flippers invariably tear out of old homes and stupidly replace with Vinyl replacement windows. *Sliding doors are KING here Also, just for fun, I'll include some plans for a real greenhouse from popular Mechanics' Encyclopedia from the 50s. If anyone wants moar, I have the full set and can post it.
you ever hear of those packing tape houses people make in the woods? They last and are proven. Alternatively, go to a clearcut and grab a few of the young tree cones yourself. They're littered everywhere typically

Started 2 olive trees and a fig this year. I’m stoked.
I’m looking for a cover mainly to keep the birds off my olive, fig an apples trees. I’m aiming to keep the cover with 95%+ sunlight pass through. This is a render of the final image
