Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Sometimes called the 'Pink Lemonade Lemon," Variegated Pink-Fleshed Eureka Lemon is a showpiece that's well worth growing. The variegated leaves are green and white adding to its ornamental appeal and the lemon rind on the fruit is striped green and cream before it turns pink and yellow when fully mature. This variety fruits easily and the inner flesh is light pink with very few seeds. The taste is comparable to a regular lemon. The primary fruiting season is late winter, spring and early summer. Enjoy these delicious lemons from your own tree. We recommend pruning when the plant is young to promote a full, bushy habit. This is a grafted plant that blooms and fruits sooner.
