Description
Citrus junos ‘John Lemon’ (Yuzu) is the hardy lemon citrus everyone is talking about and with good reason ‘Yuzu’ as it is known in Japan is a new introduction with delicous friuts and easy to grow almost hardy nature. Yuzu fruit is prized for its distinctive lemon-mandarin intense flavour and is increasingly being used in all sorts of fabulous culinary delights!
Rich green foliage is held upon deep green thorny stems and during spring and summer wonderfully fragrant white flowers emerge which are followed by small round ‘Yuzu’ lemon fruits. The ‘Yuzu’ has a curious uneaven surface and is, as you would expect a zesty shade of intense yellow once reaching maturity. The zest is particularly useful in cooking.
Our Citrus junos ‘John Lemon’ (Yuzu) have been grafted onto hardy Poncirus which means they are amongst the hardiest cirus for growing outdoors year round so if you have a mild sheltered sunny spot in your garden well worth a try. if you haven’t got a mild garden they are happy in a container. It makes an excellent conservatory plant and requires a bright, sheltered position and should be kept moist but not overwatered.
We should also make mention of the name ‘John Lemon’. I don’t know what to say but – it’s cute and made us smile!
