Description

The Citrus Yuzu  Tree (Citrus junos) is a highly sought-after citrus variety known for its powerful fragrance, complex tart flavor, and exceptional versatility in the kitchen. Revered in Japanese and Korean cuisine, yuzu is prized not for sweetness, but for its aromatic zest and bright, floral acidity.

Well-suited for Bay Area climates, yuzu trees are more cold-tolerant than many common citrus varieties and perform beautifully in both in-ground plantings and large containers. The tree produces medium-sized, bumpy yellow fruit with an intensely fragrant peel that elevates sauces, desserts, cocktails, and savory dishes.

This is a specialty citrus tree for gardeners and home chefs looking to grow something truly distinctive.
