True

EUREKA LEMON

The Eureka lemon is probably the most widely grown lemon variety in the world. It is a true 'bitter' lemon with a high juice and acid content. With correct plant nutrition, fruit should be thin-skinned and virtually seedless. Fruit tends to be borne in terminal clusters. Eureka is incompatible with many rootstock varieties but performs well on Benton citrange. At The Fruit Tree Factory, all Eureka lemons are budded onto Benton citrange.
