     there is a guy who used to grow lemon trees in   
   the mountains of Germany of all places.  he used   
   strategically placed rocks to absorb and reflect   
   light along with ponds too (which can reflect light   
   and help capture heat).  i found that very amazing.   
      
     also there is some guy in a northern state who   
   uses ground heat storage to grow citrus in underground   
   bermed greenhouses.   
      
     not that this says much about your particular area   
   other than it is more likely possible given you are   
   much further south than either of them...  :)
