Ask your ½ûÂþÌìÌà neighbours what to do to overwinter your Mandarines...

We live at 400m above sea level and we move our lemon tree under the roof of the portico in the coldest months, to protect it from frost. It doesn't seem to mind being cold, as long as its not both cold and wet at the same time.
If your plant is in the garden, you could try protecting it with horticultural fleece, known as 'tesutto-non-tessuto' in Italy.
HI I have that tree and I never cover it and it snows like crazy here but usually melts the next day. I would plant it in the ground and by next summer it will start growing white little flowers and by august-sept you will see them growing. Took us about 2 or 3 years to start getting a full load. Fertilize every year and trim. Funny being from Florida the oranges grow in the summer and here they grow in the winter!
