Citrus 'Eureka' Lemon Tree
The Citrus 'Eureka' Lemon Tree is a semi-dwarf cultivar prized for both its edible fruit and ornamental appeal, fitting well into edible landscapes. This broadleaf evergreen produces clusters of fragrant, waxy white blossoms, often followed by an abundant crop of juicy, tangy lemons, with the heaviest yield occurring from fall into winter. Growing up to 15 feet tall, it features handsome, glossy foliage whose new growth emerges bronze and purple before maturing to dark green. The stems are nearly thornless, and the tree is self-pollinating. It thrives in hot climates requiring full sun and deep, moist, well-draining soil with a slightly acidic pH. In cooler regions, it adapts well to container life.
