Yuzu Tree

A Citrus Like No Other

The Yuzu Tree is the citrus world’s best-kept secret — and once you grow one, you’ll wonder how you ever cooked without it. Prized for its fragrant white blooms and uniquely complex flavor, Yuzu zest delivers a bright lemon-lime fragrance while the tart juice blends notes of grapefruit and mandarin. It’s a chef’s favorite for sauces, marinades, desserts, cocktails, and more.

This grafted, semi-dwarf tree is self-fertile and one of the hardiest citrus varieties available — tolerating temperatures as low as 0°F. At maturity it produces an abundant harvest of fragrant, 3-inch fruits with a bumpy rind packed with aromatic oils. Grow it in the ground in warmer climates or in a container anywhere — it’s easy to bring indoors during extended freezes or enjoy on a patio year-round.

Note: This tree ships in a citra pot — a tall, narrow container that promotes vertical root growth and prevents root circling.

What I Love About It

• Fruit: Fragrant 3-inch citrus with complex lemon-lime-grapefruit-mandarin flavor; prized for zest and juice
• Light: Full sun (6–8 hours daily) for best growth and fruiting
• Water: Deep, infrequent watering; well-draining soil; avoid waterlogged roots
• Cold Hardy: Tolerates down to 0°F — one of the toughest citrus trees available
• Self-Fertile: Only one tree needed for fruit production
• Form: Grafted semi-dwarf rootstock for easier care and harvesting
• Zones: Hardy in Zones 8–11 in-ground; container-friendly in Zones 4–7
• Ornamental Appeal: Beautiful white spring flowers add seasonal beauty
• Pet Safety: Citrus can cause mild GI upset in pets — keep out of reach of curious chewers
• Difficulty: Easy — one of the most forgiving citrus trees for home gardeners

Bring home the Yuzu Tree and enjoy exceptional flavor, fragrance, and harvests for years to come.

Bloom bold. Be cheeky.
