Japanese Citrus Trees

Yes, our Japanese citrus trees, such as Yuzu and Sudachi, are grafted onto hardy rootstocks, making them well-suited for the UK climate. They can withstand cooler temperatures and, with proper care, thrive in your garden.

In the case of Yuzu, we offer two distinct rootstocks individually optimised for outdoor and indoor growing.

Our citrus trees typically begin to flower in the first spring after delivery, with fruits maturing and ready for harvest between October and December.

Most citrus trees produce fruit, but if you want to grow citrus plants, be sure to use summer citrus feed to help your garden soil along. A citrus tree is a great way to create an endless supply of fruit bursting with flavour - the hard part is choosing which citrus plant you'd like the most!

While these trees are hardy, it's advisable to provide some protection during extreme cold spells. Mulching around the base and using horticultural fleece can help safeguard them from frost.

Absolutely! Growing these trees in a planter is a great option, especially if you have limited space or wish to move them indoors during colder months. Ensure the container has good drainage and use a citrus-specific potting mix for best results.

The juice and zest of the fruits are widely used in Japanese cuisine to flavour ponzu, soy sauce, miso, honey and chilli paste. They also make excellent additions to drinks, providing a uniquely powerful and tart citrus flavour. Yuzu combines the flavours of lemon, grapefruit and mandarin, while Sudachi is more akin to a sour, peppery lime.
