Yuzu lemon tree 80 cm

Yuzu, or Citrus junos, is a citrus fruit native to the Far East, mainly cultivated in Japan, Korea and China. This exotic fruit is particularly prized for its distinctive aroma and unique flavor, used in many traditional culinary preparations and beverages.

Yuzu is a small evergreen tree belonging to the Rutaceae family. Its dark green leaves are oval and slightly serrated, giving off a subtle fragrance when crushed. Yuzu fruits are medium-sized, with a rough, thick skin, yellow in color when ripe. Their flesh is juicy and tangy, offering a perfect balance between lime and mandarin.

Yuzu flowers are white and highly fragrant, appearing in spring and brightening the tree with their delicate presence. Although yuzu is primarily grown for its fruit, its appeal extends beyond its harvest. Its ornamental appearance, with its evergreen leaves and fragrant flowers, also makes it a charming addition to any garden or landscape.
