YUZU DWARF JAPANESE LEMON TREE. GRAFTED CITRUS PLANT SHIPPED IN POT.
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.
