I have seen several different opinions about this. |

1. Does not seem to matter. Mine are in a dark garage or under leaves all winter. 2. Yes 3. Anything consistently above 40f after they get their chilling hours (around 200 I think) and they will wake up. My trees survive lows in the teens but spend most of the winter around freezing +- 10f. |

If they are dormant and no leaves on them then they don't need light. |

Like Andy and Aaron said. Mine receive no light in my garage. My garage seems to stay between 40 and 50 degrees even in the worst cold fronts, oh and they receive water only one a month or so. |
