Sweet Lemon (Citrus ujukitsu)
Yes, believe it or not, we found this lemon to be incredibly sweet. It ripens to a bright yellow with an interesting pear-shaped form that’s quite large, often bigger than a softball. Thought to be a strain of Tangelo, a cross between a grapefruit and a tangerine, the fruit is amazingly sweet and juicy with a thick rind that peels easily. The plant grows slower than most lemon trees yet when it reaches two or more feet it will flower and fruit with great regularity. Springtime brings a flush of fragrant blooms.
Hardy to Zone 9 and higher for outdoors.
Full sun, grows to 2-3' in container, minimum temperature indoors 50°, blooms intermittently.
Fragrant!
We are sorry, due to agricultural regulations, citrus cannot be shipped to TX, FL, AZ, CA.
