The yuzu is more cold tolerant than most other citrus, being able to tolerate to -5 degrees

Currant - Black

Potato peels or old potatoes chopped up should be placed or dug in near the roots, or water the plant around the roots with a mixture of potato starch and water. The shrub just loves it and you end up with big juicy berries when they start fruiting
