Lemon Eureka Dwarf – Espalier 40cm
A highly decorative tree all year round, the foliage is a shiny rich deep-green. When flower buds emerge, they are white with yellow undertones and a wonderful fragrance. The fruit develops for much of the year. The fruit is medium to large size with thin skin, juicy flesh and a tangy flavour.

Eureka Lemons are fantastic for flavouring dishes, used fresh in salads and drinks. Fertilise newly planted trees with a citrus fertiliser to help settle them, the best times to feed citrus is from September through to March. Citrus can take heavy pruning, but this is not usually done unless transplanting or there has been damage to the limbs. They are best pruned in November or December as this minimises fruit loss and damage to new growth. Almost all citrus can be grown in pots. However, there are varieties which are better suited. This dwarf Tahitian Lime is ideal to be developed in a container.

Planting Tips:
Citrus trees can be planted all year round; however, finding the perfect spot for them is vital to good produce. They prefer a sunny position with rich-humus soil that drains and prepares the soil before planting. Mixing in a bag of well-aged animal manure or compost can help to conditions and revitalise tired soil. Make sure to blend with pre-existing soil, mixing thoroughly.

Once the soil has been prepared, dig a wider hole, but not deeper, than the original size of the pot the plant has come in. Position the plant in the hole and backfill any gasp with the excess soil. Give the plant a deep soaking of water to help settle the roots.

Suppose planting into a pot ensures that the container chosen is large enough for the plant being planted. Never pot a plant into a container which is too small. Use a premium quality potting mix as this has all the added fertilisers and wetting agents required for having a healthy plant.
