Eureka Lemons

The Eureka Lemon Tree will grow in most types of soil that are well-drained and it likes plenty of organic material in the soil. Always plant on a slope or on a wide, low mound of soil, rather than in a hollow. Although citrus trees can suffer from some pests and diseases, these are usually fairly harmless and in home gardens it is rare to need any pest control. Sometimes the fruit will have a few blemishes, but it will be naturally grown and chemical-free, which is a real bonus from growing your own fruit trees at home.

The Eureka Lemon tree is a special variety that originated in Los Angeles, California in the 1850’s. It was a seedling from some seeds brought over from Italy and its special qualities were soon noticed. It is also sometimes called the Four-Season Lemon because it bears fruit all year round, unlike the older Lisbon type of lemon. From that original tree all other Eureka Lemon trees have been produced.

Stratification Requirement: 60 days cold moist stratification

Indoor Planting: If your seeds require stratification or scarification – do the recommended pretreatment before planting indoors. Planting Instructions: Fill a container with seed starting mix to about ½ inch from the top. Place your seeds 1 inch to 1 ½ inches below the soil surface. Gently water your seeds to keep moist, not soaking wet. Heat & humidity is critical for germination. Germination may occur in 1 week or as long as 3 months (depending on the species). Place the seed container on a heat mat under growing light(s). Keep your growing lights on 14 hours per day. Keep your heat mat on 24 hours per day. Once your seeds germinate, move each seed into its own container under the growing lights and on the heat mat. Keep your seedlings indoors for 2-3 months before transplanting outdoors in the spring (May to June).

Outdoor Planting: If your seeds do not require stratification: the best time to plant tree and shrub seeds outdoors is after the last frost in your area (spring). In the Northern states – the best time to plant seeds outdoors is from May to June. If your seeds require pretreatment: you should plant your seeds outdoors before the ground freezes in your area (late September to early November). Your seeds will naturally stratify during the cold winter. Germination usually occurs in May or during the spring season.
