A wonderful year-round show of green splashed with yellow variegated foliage and deliciously fragrant flowers make this 15', evergreen shrub/small tree a real winner, the fact that it also produces tasty lemons is just a plus; it makes a fantastic indoor/greenhouse plant in cooler climates and is easily pruned to keep it smaller.
