## Description

The Yuzu citrus tree is a unique and rare citrus plant which has been widely used in Japan, China and Korea for centuries. Its unique flavor can be used in a wide variety of dishes, from cuisine, drinks, sauces and desserts. It is a perfect substitute for either lemon or limes. A very hardy citrus tree, the large fruit ripen in winter, and can be grown in colder climates. Once the fruit is ripe, it can be left on the tree, or picked and stored for weeks in a cool environment. This Starter Tree is grown from seed, and is currently between 2 and 4 inches in height above soil. It will continue to grow either outdoor, or indoor when temperatures reach freezing temperature. The tree itself is the hardiest citrus there is. The fruit has a unique taste, which is more of a combination of lemon and lime, with hints of grapefruit and mandarin flavor as well. Its rind is used in everything from drinks, sauces and dessert jams. The juice and zest is also used to highlight Asian-inspired cuisine dishes. The fruit looks somewhat like a small grapefruit with an uneven skin and can be either yellow or green depending on the degree of ripeness. Yuzu fruits, which are very aromatic, typically range between 2 - 3 inches in diameter but can be as large as a regular grapefruit (up to 4 inches). Yuzu forms an upright shrub or small tree, which commonly has many large thorns, and beautiful, fragrant white flowers. Leaves are notable for a large, leaf-like petiole, resembling those of the related kaffir lime, and are heavily scented. It grows steadily into a small tree that may become up to 12 feet in height. Yuzu closely resembles Sudachi (a Japanese citrus from Tokushima Prefecture, a yuzu mandarin orange cross) in many regards, though unlike the Sudachi, Yuzu eventually ripens to an orange color and there are subtle differences between the flavors of the fruit. Propagated by Gerald Winters and Son Plants of Bangor, Maine.

Review: Cute and happy little plant! - I waited until she'd had the chance to settle in and until after I had repotted her, since live things can be fickle and I didn't want my constant fretting to bias my review. So here we are a few months later. I JUST repotted the little yuzu tree a week ago - the instructions advised waiting a month for the roots to pop out the bottom of the container and that never happened for us - in fact, when I was repotting she was only JUST starting to form new root growth. So we are two months in and now she's got a nice terra cotta pot to sit in. Don't worry. Her top leaves are curled a little bit but that's my fault and happened when we transitioned to the backyard. Indoors, she was retaining water like nobody's business, but outside she dried up like crazy. I water her thoroughly every few days - the soil stays moistish without becoming a solid, muddy mess and she seems to like that a lot. Something to keep in mind: when she first arrived, she was super sensitive to being moved. I let her sit in the window the first couple of days but it wasn't quite enough light for her - so I started easing her outside. We were still freezing a bit at night, so i'd take her out to enjoy the sunshine, then bring her back in at the end of the day. She'd outright DROOP when I took her out - so much so that I thought that the sun had put her into shock and killed her - but once she'd had some time to acclimate she perked right back up. The same thing would happen when I brought her indoors. Give your new friend a second to recouperate and don't panic. Everything is fine. Now that she's been outdoors exclusively for over a month she hasn't been nearly so sensitive. I noticed a few folks run into trouble repotting their little yuzu and I think it's fair to say that indoor light isn't the same as sunbeams, outdoor warmth, dealing with the wind and all that. If you can, wean the little one off of hiding inside and get them settled in a nice sunny spot out on a porch or in the yard. Your little darling DID make a pretty wild journey in a dark box to get to you, so just be mindful that she might need a little extra time to recover from the adventure before she'll be ready for repotting. I don't know if this helps, but I also thoroughly cleaned her roots and used a chopstick to try and push the new soil into the rootball when we got potted - I was told that transplanting can be tricky because roots will avoid moving into new soil types different from the one they're currently in, so I made the effort of making the transition as complete as possible. Anyway. She's so cute and doing so well. I am so happy with my purchase. This is the healthiest plant I have ever ordered online - all the others I've bought from various sellers came with diseases or pests and just didn't make it. The packing was amazing and so solid, too. She smells very pretty and I love visiting her outside. I was told once that you can tell what kind of citrus she is by crinkling the leaves, but you only really have to gently rub these between your fingers to get the smell. It's a little lemony, a little orangy. Deeper, not bright and sharp like lemon can be. I ended up naming mine Maki. She's so cute and sensitive to attention, but gosh she wasted NO TIME bristling with all her stabby thorns. If you know what I'm talking about, you know. Ah! And if you haven't read this somewhere else already, I have been told it can take about 20-25 years for a yuzu tree to bear fruit from seed. As these are seed sprouted, just something to bear in mind. You can consider grafting when she's older if that's of interest to you - there are some great resources for this online with videos, so you don't have to do it alone - but I think I might wait and see with mine. :) Maybe a few years down the line I'll come back and edit my review if it happens a lot sooner, just so folks know what to expect. Anyway. I hope this was helpful. Good luck caring for your new friend! Someone in the reviews mentioned that they tried planting the little bag of seeds in the package. I THINK that's actually a heating pack for insulation to keep her from freezing on her way to her new home, so you might be safe to toss it. :)
Review: Beautiful plant, well-packaged - Nothing to complain about. The plant is exactly as described and beautifully healthy. It came well-packaged, on-time, and in great condition. I would definitely purchase again.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can shipping to CA?**
A: Yes we can. We have a sister nursery in Los Angeles that is able to ship our citrus trees to our California customers. Please God, later in 2021 we hope to have it so that local customers can pick up in a contact-less transaction.

**Q: How many years will it take to bear fruit?**
A: Ours generally produce fruit in the range of 2 years 9 months and 3 years. Accounting for the time they are spent growing with us, 3 years is a safe bet until your little baby will start to produce offspring. Gerald

**Q: Can you ship to Oregon?**
A: Yes, we are able to ship yuzu to addresses in Oregon, and with the climate there, they do quite well. Gerald

**Q: Care instructions for the little plant? There are instructions for seeds but not the baby plant.**
A: I apologize for including the instructions for seed growing, as opposed to the plant. Please message me from your order page and I will send that to you immediately. Sorry for the confusion. Thank you. Gerald

*by A***C on October 17, 2024*

The tree was just as described, maybe a little bit bigger actually. The shipping container wade sure the tree wasn't damaged and it was all green when I got it. There were also an instruction sheet inside on how to plant it so all in all great sale.
