Description
The dwarf form of "Eureka" Lemon, grafted onto "Flying Dragon" rootstock, is a compact form making it ideal for those with limited garden space or wishing to cultivate citrus in pots. As a prolific bearer of bright yellow lemons, it offers tangy fruits and fragrant blossoms throughout the year. These lemon trees serve both culinary purposes, providing zesty flavours to dishes, and ornamental appeal to gardens.
Whether planted in pots or directly in the ground, the "Eureka" needs ample sunlight and consistent water, especially from Kambarang to Djeran (spring to autumn). In sandy soils, a quality soil conditioner is essential for enhanced productivity and growth. Fertilise during Djilba (early spring) using a citrus-specific blend for best results.
