Lemons are a fabulous addition to any garden! We grow 4 different varieties - Meyer, Lisbon, Eureka and even Yuzu, the Japanese lemon. The Meyer is the predominant one we grow as it is very hardy and very prolific. They are all perfect for your backyard or balcony!

Meyer Lemon is very hardy and prolific, thin yellow skin and juicy flesh. Lower acidity and reduced bitterness makes it extremely popular for home growing. Continuous fruiting in Temperate and Warm climates.

Lisbon Lemon is a medium sized, oval, yellow skinned lemon with a smooth skin and a well pronounced “nipple”. The flesh has few seeds, if any, and is very juicy and acidic. A real lemony lemon. Great for cooking, juicing and drinking.

Eureka Lemon is a large oblong shaped lemon, with a textured bright yellow skin. The rind is full of citrus oils and releases a sharp citrus aroma when squeezed. The juicy yellow flesh contains minimal seeds, if any, and produces a tart and acidic flavour. Eureka lemons are sharper and more tart flavoured than the sweeter Meyer lemon variety.

Yuzu Lemons - these highly sought-after Japanese lemons are prized in the culinary world, with a highly aromatic rind. It maintains it's tartness / sourness at high cooking temperatures. The small fruit does not contain much juice, thus it is often expensive. Here's a chance to grow your own!

Climate: Tropical/Warm/Cool/Cold to -8*

Fruits: April - October + longer

Citrus Fruit Salad Trees are suitable for all Australian climates, except Alpine regions. See Climate Map above for more details.

Citrus Fruit Salad Trees will grow to 2.5m high x 2m wide in the ground. In a pot, they will grow to about 2/3 that size depending on the size of the pot.

Note: The size of your tree is determined by many factors including soil type, sunlight, nutrition availability and overall health.

There are 2 special care requirements for our trees.
1. Keep the tree balanced! Check your tree regularly and prune back any branches that are outgrowing the others.
2. Remove Rootstock. Each fruit will be marked with white paint when you receive your tree. If you see any other growth coming from the tree trunk, remove this as this is rootstock growth.

All Citrus Fruit Salad Trees can be espaliered. This method saves space and provides extra support for heavy cropping. Click HERE to watch our video on espaliering.
