Eureka Lemon Tree (Citrus limon ‘Allen-Newman’)

Eureka Lemon is one of the most popular lemon varieties grown today. This citrus tree is a vigorous grower and tends to bear while still young with fruit arriving late winter through early summer. The prolific yellow lemons are small-to-medium size, with tender, juicy fruit and few to no seeds. The rind has prominent ridges and is full of fragrant oil that gives it an intense citrus scent. It originated in Los Angeles, California from a group of seedlings of Italian origin. Eureka is a true lemon, not a hybrid like Meyer lemon, and its juice and zest are often made into baked goods like lemon meringue pie or lemon bread. It also makes delicious lemonade and other drinks.
