Yuzu Citrus Tree FAQs
Do yuzu trees require a pollinator?
Yuzu trees are generally self-fruitful, meaning they do not require a separate pollinator tree to set fruit. They can produce fruit on their own with their own flowers’ pollen.
How long do they typically take to bear fruit?
Yuzu trees typically begin to bear fruit about 2 to 3 years after planting. This timeframe can vary depending on growing conditions, tree health, and whether the tree was grafted or grown from seed. Grafted yuzu trees, like those sold by nurseries such as TreeSource, often produce fruit sooner than seed-grown trees which will take much longer. With proper care, including full sun, regular watering, and suitable climate, you can expect your yuzu tree to start yielding fruit in this timeframe.
What growing conditions are best for yuzu citrus trees?
Yuzu trees prefer full sun and well-drained soil, with regular watering to support their moderate growth rate. They can be grown both in the ground and in containers, making them versatile for different gardening spaces. While yuzu trees can reach up to 10–15 feet tall, pruning helps maintain a manageable size for home gardens. The trees bloom with fragrant white flowers in spring, followed by fruit that matures in late fall to winter, providing fresh citrus when many other varieties are out of season.
What are some popular uses of yuzu?
Yuzu is mainly used in Japanese, Korean, and Chinese cuisines. In Japanese cooking, it flavors sauces like ponzu, soups, sashimi, and desserts. Korean cuisine uses it in yuja-cha (a citrus tea), marmalades, and savory dishes. In Chinese cuisine, yuzu appears in marinades and condiments. Yuzu’s tart, floral flavor is also popular in modern Western fusion cooking, high-end restaurants, and cocktails.
Yuzu is typically used for its juice, zest, and fragrant peel rather than eaten whole because the fruit is very tart and contains many seeds. The juice is squeezed fresh and added to sauces, dressings, marinades, or drinks. The zest or peel is finely grated or thinly sliced to garnish dishes, flavor soups, or infuse oils and vinegars.
We’re based in a cold-weather area. How do you ensure your yuzu citrus trees are transported to avoid damage?
At TreeSource, all trees are carefully packed and shipped to protect them from cold damage during winter transit. Year round, trees are shipped on Mondays to avoid weekend delays and reduce the risk of extended exposure to low temperature over the weekend. Each tree is secured in a sturdy box, often using insulating materials along with heat packs when necessary, but the best plan is to delay shipment vs. braving a frigid weather event. Shipping schedules may be adjusted based on weather forecasts to ensure your tree arrives healthy and undamaged. This attention to packaging and timing helps guarantee the safe delivery of cold-sensitive yuzu citrus trees, even in colder areas.
