Plant description
A remarkable, self fertile, heavy-cropping, little tree with glossy, dark green leaves, sometimes thorny stems and smooth-skinned, bright golden fruit with exceptional flavour. This clever variety is unique in that it keeps on producing flowers from spring to autumn, so it is possible to have flowers, small, un-ripened fruit as well as ready-to-pick lemons on the plant at the same time. One of the hardiest lemon trees available, it can be grown on a sunny patio in summer, but will need an unheated conservatory or greenhouse to over-winter. Unfortunately we cannot guarantee that any plant will be sent out with buds, flowers or developing fruit - and occasionally (because of their weight) fruit may become dislodged from the tree while in transit.

How to care for Citrus × limon Gareys Eureka:
Ideally grow in a pot which is easily moved from terrace to conservatory, in a specialist citrus compost. Feed every two weeks with a special citrus fertiliser (there is one for summer and another for winter), and pot on or top-dress plants in late winter. Move outside after the risk of frost has passed to a sunny, sheltered patio.
Warning
Humans: Fruit harmful to skin with sunlight/skin allergen
