$49.00 ($49.00-$99.00 choose a size)

Native to China, the Yuzu has been used and cultivated in this region for thousands of years. The fruit is tart, resembling a grapefruit with mandarin overtones.

In Korea thinly sliced fruits are combined with sugar and honey to make a thick marmalade like syrup. Yuzu kosho is a spicy Japanese sauce made from green or ripe yellow yuzu zest, chillis and salt. The yuzu is more cold tolerant than most other citrus, being able to tolerate to -5 degrees

HARRISON, ACT

Dwarf Kumquat Meiwa

This little tree is grown in a 7 gallon non-woven grow bag. I used Osmocote Citrus and Fruit potting mix plus few other additions like Brunnings Blood and bone, superphosphate and Earthlife Fruit Blend rock minerals. It has flowers after few months and hopefully will have fruit in the first year. Unlike some recommendations, I don't discard first year fruit from any tree.
