Description
The "Eureka" cultivar, an outstanding variety of Citrus limon, promises year-round bright yellow lemons. Its fragrant blossoms, which appear sporadically throughout the year, and tangy fruits make it a must-have for every garden, offering both visual appeal and culinary delight. As a Lemon tree, it can act as a sun-catching feature in gardens, providing shade, beauty, and bountiful fruit.
Suitable for pots or directly in the ground, "Eureka" thrives best with good sunlight and regular watering, especially from Kambarang to Djeran (spring to autumn). For those planting directly in sandy soils, introducing a quality soil conditioner will significantly benefit the tree's growth and productivity. It's recommended to fertilise using a citrus-specific blend during Djilba (early spring) for optimum fruit yield.
