Citrus Yuzu

Citrus Yuzu is a Japanese lemon valued for its highly aromatic rind. Yuzu is known to maintain its tart/sourness at high cooking temperatures. The Yuzu contains a limited amount of juice. Yuzu is described as sour, tart very fragrant. The seeds are large, and the rind thick. The growth habit is upright, and the plant has many large thorns.

Prune to maintain shape and remove dead or diseased branches. (Remove any sucker growth). Citrus is heavy feeders, requiring regular feeding with a Citrus fertiliser and/or manure (3-4 times annually). Apply a good layer of mulch in spring and autumn to keep weeds at bay and help with moisture retention. Spray alternatively and regularly with an organic copper spray and an organic oil spray. This will prevent insects and fungal diseases.
