Citrus junos 'Yuzu'
This cold hardy tree (known to survive temperatures as low as 10 degrees F) grows wild in both Tibet and Central China, yet has been most appreciated as a cultivated tree in Japan and Korea. Because of its cold hardiness, Yuzu is one of the few citrus varieties that one can try to grow in temperate regions of the US where winter lows may dip below freezing. The tree's toughness is reflected by its long sharp thorns and tendency to bend and twist with inclement weather.Famously valued in Asian cuisines for centuries, Yuzu is now inspiring fusion chefs throughout the world. The zest and juice are essential ingredients in Japanese Ponzu sauce, as well as important components in some miso soup recipes and chawanmushi (an egg custard dish). At midwinter (Toji, or Winter Solstice) Yuzu fruits are the preferred fruit to float in one's ceremonial bath to encourage good health in the New Year.

Citrus reticulata 'Gold Nugget' Mandarin
The Gold Nugget Mandarin is a richly flavored mandarin, seedless and easy to peel. It is so named for its golden color and its pebbly skin. Gold Nugget's most outstanding feature may be its long harvest period. Gold Nugget Mandarins provide the classic sweet/tart taste of mandarin orange for months longer than other varieties. Fruit holds on the tree from spring (February-March) through the summer (June-August). All these attributes make Gold Nugget Mandarin our favorite new mandarin!
Patented variety: $29.99 each
Rangpur Lime
Tart reddish orange fruit is used like lime, although it is a sour Mandarin from India. The overlap of prolific fruit and purple tinged blooms make this a wonderful ornamental tree. Popular in mixed drinks or simply sliced for ice tea.Genoa Lemon (Genova)
Italian Lemon Introduced into California from Genoa Italy in 1875, this variety has similar characteristics to Eureka. In regions of Chile and Argentina where it is grown commercially it is appreciated for its vigorous growth, cold resistance and lush, dense foliage.Bloom & Fruit Times At A Glance
