Lemon Eureka Grafted Dwarf 5L
Dwarf Lemon 'Eureka'
Very suitable for the home garden including coastal and warmer areas. Bears several crops of fruit - in winter, spring and summer. Vigorous grower with almost no thorns.
Caring for your tree: Avoid damaging the roots and lower trunk to prevent disease entry. Water well during dry periods. Mulch the area to keep roots cool and suppress weeds, leaving a 25mm gap around the truck. Fertilise using a citrus fertiliser as directed.
Planting: Cultivate soil to depth of container and at least three times to diameter. In poorly drained soils, cultivate a large area shallowly, and create a raised mount of freely draining soil. Remove the plant from its pot, and plant into a hole in the soil or the mound, to the same depth as the pot soil. Backfill the hole and gently firm down the soil. Water the tree in thoroughly.
