Grafted citrus tree Yuzu (Citrus x junos) - 2 liter pot

The yuzu is a hardy citrus tree that can reach 2-3 meters in the ground, but also thrives in a pot, where it remains smaller. Because it is grafted, it is more resistant to the Dutch and Belgian climate. It can tolerate temperatures down to -18°C and has substantial spines. This self-pollinating yuzu is a highly sought-after Japanese citrus variety, renowned among Michelin-starred chefs for its unique, aromatic peel with notes of mandarin, lime, and a characteristic yuzu scent.

The fruits resemble a round, slightly rough lemon and can be picked either yellow or orange for a complex aroma or green for a more intense flavor. Yuzu is used in a wide variety of dishes, from sushi to desserts, and can also be made into marmalade or candied peel.

Tips and care:

• Planting: Because the trees are delivered in pots, they can be planted year-round. It's best to plant in the fall, when the soil is still warm and moist, allowing the trees to take root well. Plants planted in the fall have a more developed root system than those planted in the spring.
• Organic/non-organic: This plant material comes from a small-scale grower without an official organic certificate. But don't worry, we're certain it's pesticide-free.
