Eureka Lemon Tree

Classic Citrus with a Zesty Twist: Eureka Lemon Tree

If you’ve ever enjoyed a bright, tart slice of lemon in your tea or over grilled fish, there’s a good chance it came from a Eureka Lemon. This is California’s go-to commercial lemon—and for good reason.

The Eureka Lemon Tree is a strong grower with a generous fruiting habit, producing its heaviest crop from fall through winter, plus bonus lemons throughout the year. This perfectly sized tree fits beautifully in a sunny yard or patio container, and with light pruning, it’s easy to keep neat and compact.
