The Yuzu Tree is prized for its fragrant white blooms, unique citrus flavor, and impressive cold hardiness. This grafted, semi-dwarf tree is self-fertile, making it an easy and rewarding choice for gardeners of all experience levels.
At maturity, the Yuzu Tree produces an abundant harvest of fragrant, 3-inch fruits with a bumpy rind packed with aromatic oils. The zest delivers a bright lemon-lime fragrance, while the tart juice blends notes of grapefruit and mandarin, making it a favorite for sauces, marinades, desserts, cocktails, and more.
One of the hardiest citrus trees available, Yuzu tolerates temperatures as low as 0°F, allowing gardeners in cooler climates to enjoy homegrown citrus. It also grows well in containers, making it easy to bring indoors during extended freezes or enjoy on patios and small spaces.
