Lemon ‘Eureka’
An excellent variety producing large, thick skinned lemons equal in quality to those purchased from a supermarket – and ideal for adding to a gin and tonic! Set against a foil of glossy, dark foliage, the delicate clusters of tiny white flowers fill the air with their delicious fragrance from April to June. The fruits of Lemon ‘Eureka’ may take up to a year to ripen but are well worth the wait. Lemons can be harvested as they ripen and once picked, will keep for up to 2 weeks. Lemon trees are capable of surviving brief periods below 0C, but are best grown in large containers and moved indoors to a bright frost free position from autumn to spring. This tree is self fertile and will not need a pollination companion. Propagated onto ‘PSrootstock and supplied as a large specimen bush (often in fruit) in a 5 litre pot. Height: 3m (9′). Spread: 25m (8’)
