Yuzu / Meiwa Cumquat – Double

Description

• The Yuzu (Citrus junos) is the “crown jewel” of Japanese citrus, and placing it on Flying Dragon rootstock creates an absolute powerhouse for the home grower. Since Yuzu is naturally a vigorous, thorny grower, the Flying Dragon rootstock is essential for taming its size while amplifying its world-famous aromatics.
• Prized by Michelin-starred chefs and fragrance experts alike, the Yuzu is more than just a fruit-it’s an experience. Known for its incredible cold hardiness and a complex aroma that sits somewhere between a grapefruit, a mandarin, and a lime, the Yuzu is a “must-have” for the gourmet gardener.
• The Cumquat is the only citrus you eat entirely—skin and all. It offers a unique sensory explosion where the rind is surprisingly sweet and the juice is refreshingly tart. We specialise in growing standard tree varieties.
• To round out your collection, the Cumquat (often spelled Kumquat) is perhaps the most natural fit for Flying Dragon rootstock.
• Because cumquats are naturally shrub-like and produce hundreds of tiny fruits, the dwarfing rootstock turns them into a “Bonsai-style” powerhouse that looks like a living jewellery box.
