Fastest development temperatures are between 23 to 28c
They need at least 21c for growing fruits.
Temperatures above 40 degrees damage citrus except citrus paradisi which it can tolerate temperatures as much as 52c

They generally need %60 to %70 relative humidity.
4)Soil Needs
Sandy and clay

Interesting -I thought Poncirus trifoliata would have had a lower development temperature, although I guess that's referring to the original tree, not the rootstock.
Lemons must have a lower fruit growth temperature as well as a development temperature. They set flowers in late winter and the fruit grows while temperatures are still well under 21C.

Well.I got these information from Turkish sources and I think that I made a mistake while translation process.
They need at least 21c for growing fruits.At 21c it is the best temperature that trees can grow fruits.
I doubt it, but if it could, the citrus wouldn't taste that great.
Flavour can often be more obvious in oranges that have lower sugar levels.
My own oranges aren't as sweet (still quite sweet though) as those from the upper North Island, but tend to have a more pronounced flavour.
I find oranges here from Australia and California, tend to be very strong on sweetness and weak on flavour.
