Developed in Southern California in the mid-19th century, the Eureka lemon originated as a seedling grown from fruit of Italian origin. Due to its quick growth habit, thornlessness and everbearing nature, the Eureka lemon quickly became one of the most widely grown fresh lemon varieties in the United States and around the world.

Its purple-tinted new growth and steady production of eye-catching lemons make the Eureka a great ornamental variety. Along with looking great, your Eureka lemon tree will provide you with store quality lemons, year-round.

About Our Trees

Does a Eureka lemon tree need another lemon tree to produce fruit?

No! Eureka lemon trees are self-pollinating, which means a single tree can produce plenty of lemons on its own. While bees and other pollinators can increase fruit production, you don't need a second lemon tree to enjoy a great harvest.

Can a Eureka lemon tree handle cold weather?

Eureka lemon trees are more sensitive to cold than many other citrus varieties. They should be protected when temperatures drop below 32°F, especially while they're young. Covering the tree or moving a potted tree indoors during freezes can help prevent damage.

How long does it take for a Eureka lemon tree to produce fruit?

Most grafted Eureka lemon trees begin producing fruit within 1–2 years after planting. With plenty of sunshine, regular watering, and proper fertilization, you'll be enjoying homegrown lemons before you know it!

How can I protect my tree from citrus greening and pests?

We highly recommend protecting your young trees from Asian psyllids and citrus greening (HLB) with a tree defender. For more information visit: www.thetreedefender.com

Should I mulch around my tree?

Do not pile mulch against the trunk. Excess moisture around the trunk can lead to decline, disease, and possible tree loss.
