Citrus cavaleriei X C. grandis
Syn. Citrus wilsonii
We’re excited to finally be able to offer this elusive cold hardy citrus variety for sale. The Ichang Lemon, also known as the Frost Lemon or Shangjuan, is a cousin to the more common Yuzu and is just as cold hardy. An old variety in its native China, Ichang Lemon has been slow to gain the attention of growers in the United States. Producing large, 4-5 inch round fruit, the Ichang Lemon makes a perfect culinary substitute for the common lemon.
Cold hardy to 10-15 degrees Fahrenheit, Ichang Lemon trees have fruited in temperate climates as far north as New Jersey and even British Columbia, Canada. Growing requirements are similar to other citrus and this variety is well suited to container growing. Ichang Lemon naturally has a shrubby growth habit and will ultimately reach 10 to 15 feet in height if not pruned.
Cold hardy to USDA zones 8a and above, or to 10 degrees Fahrenheit.
For sale are packets of 10 fresh seeds
