Yuzu Tree

Got this Yuzu seedling yesterday, I really wanted a larger plant but was unable to find one. Does anybody know about how many years before it flowers. Or perhaps where I could buy a larger one ??

    Many citrus take 5 - 10 years to flower. Try Four Winds or Harris - they might have one.

    Yea it will take many many years for that size to get flowers and fruit. I bought mine from here which was much bigger than I was expecting(around 3 feet tall) https://www.briteleaf.com/product/yuzu/

    I knew it would be years but I've heard anywhere from 2 to 10 just wondered if anybody knew the specifics of YUZU. I heard limes can be a few years where grapefruit can be many more. I might just plant this Tree in the ground next to the house in a lean to greenhouse to test the limits of cold hardiness

    You can't just say it will take 'x' years. There are too many variables. If you are growing it in year-round warmth (South Florida, for example) and in the ground with adequate sun, heat and moisture, probably toward the shorter end. If you are growing it in the north in a cold climate, in pots and have to bring it in during the winters where it slows its growth significantly, then probably toward the longer side.

    So if you don't want to wait ten years, purchase a grafted or rooted one.

    Here's my yuzu

    I would imagine that yuzu would grow faster from seed than other citrus, since it is very vigorous growing. Just an educated guess but in a zone 10 climate it might take about 5 years to go from seed to fruit (if you give it a lot of care). Other citrus take more like 8 or 10 years. Another reason, yuzu are smaller sized trees (only up to 10 feet if grown own-root) and more dwarfed citrus varieties tend to start producing fruit earlier in their life.

    I’ve got three different varieties in ground, and they are quite hardy. Just small fruit so far as they’re quite young. There’s a beautiful selection of grafted trees for about $10 each year.

    I just picked one off the tree

    Actually, the flavor isn't that bad, like lemon and a sour Clementine, although it's very unpleasantly dry like a rough lemon, and it was very seedy. I ate half the fruit.

    Hi Parker, how old is your Yuzu tree? I love yuzu juice. Do you use any special care?

    They have very little juice in them, so I would imagine it would take a lot of fruits to get much juice. The trees are very productive and fruitful though.

    Also if you cut a yuzu and leave it sitting around for a day it develops a very tropical guava aroma, in addition to the fragrance they had before.

    I use a korean recipe where you slice the whole yuzu removing seeds only mix it with water and honey. Its delicious. Maybe a tea is a more appropriate description. :)
