Description

Flowers and fruits year-round
Large, fragrant fruit
Evergreen trees for all year interest

Eureka Lemons grow on vigorous and productive trees with few painful thorns and good-sized zesty fruit with lots of juice and a paucity of seeds.

Look forward to fruit in various stages of maturity all through the year. The main harvest is from October to February, but you can look forward to intermittent flowering and fruiting all year round.

Although citrus is not hardy outdoors in Britain you can easily grow them in pots outdoors in summer as long as they are brought into cool, light, but frost-free places for the winter, such as a frost-free greenhouse or cool conservatory.

Fragrant flowers appear all year round especially in late winter so they often flower and fruit at the same time.

This Citrus Tree is delivered between mid-March to late August as a potted specimen in 17cm pots.

We recommend that you carefully remove the lid, place in the soil of your citrus plant and let gravity work its magic! Feeder solution not for human consumption.

When to plant and what to expect at different times of the year

You can plant hardy shrubs, trees and perennials at any time of the year avoiding the two extremes of heat and cold. During the summer months when it is hot and dry the need for watering becomes crucial to aid successful establishment and in the winter when the soil is frozen the plants will not be in active growth either above or below ground and risk getting cold damage. The same is true on the stage or growth you can expect your plants to be delivered in and this will be directly related to the time of year and the season.

When ordering through the year, here’s a summary of what to expect when receiving your plants:

Spring Months: Plants supplied in spring will be starting to show signs of active growth above and below ground.

Summer Months: Plants supplied in the late summer will be more advanced in size and flower stage

Autumn Months: In the autumn plants will be changing colour, showing signs of leaf colour breakdown and be preparing to shut down for winter.

Winter Months: Plants ordered and supplied during the winter months will be dormant and therefore may not be showing growth above the soil level or consist of bare branches with no leaves or bare roots with no soil.

These are all perfectly normal and natural for these types of plants growing in the northern hemisphere. All will still have a very healthy root system that can be planted when the weather is favourable by keeping the new soil level equal to the pot level and therefore not covering the crown of the plant at all. Planting during the autumn and winter months will allow for early establishment in the season and a bigger and better display throughout the main growing season.
