***YUZU DWARF JAPANESE LEMON TREE. GRAFTED CITRUS PLANT SHIPPED IN POT. NO SHIP TO CA
Prized in Japan for flavoring, juice, and preserves, this hardy variety bears abundant, easy-to-peel, 3-inch diameter fruit with tasty, lemon-lime flavor. Yuzu is very cold hardy to 0°F. The best way to describe the taste of yuzu would be a cross between Meyer Lemon and Tangerine.
While not usually eaten as fresh fruit, it is widely used by the Japanese in cooking in a similar way that other cultures use lemons. It’s tart like a grapefruit, aromatic like a lemon with a hint of mandarin flavor! The aromatic rind and juice are used as a regular ingredient in Japan. The yellow fruit resembles a small grapefruit with uneven skin.
***DEKOPON JAPANESE MANDARIN GRAFTED CITRUS PLANT SHIPPED IN POT.
This is a Japanese mandarin hybrid between a Ponkan tangerine and a Kiyomi tangor. Its fruit is large, very sweet and produces no seeds making it a highly desirable fresh fruit variety.
This mandarin variety has been trademarked as both ‘Dekopon’ and ‘Sumo’. In Korea it is called ‘Hallabong’ and in Brazil it is called ‘Kinsei’. No matter what it’s called, it can be recognized by its large protruding bump on the top of the fruit, which is ripe in early spring to early summer.
