| Botanical Name | Citrus ujukitsu |
| Description | The Ujukitsu, often called the "Lemonade Tree," is a unique citrus variety that produces large, pear-shaped fruit with a surprisingly sweet, low-acid flavor. This 3-gallon (3G) dwarf specimen is ideal for the Willis and Houston climate, especially when grown in large containers. The fruit can be eaten fresh right off the tree or squeezed for a naturally sweet juice. It features beautiful, glossy evergreen leaves and highly fragrant white flowers. Because citrus health is paramount in Southeast Texas, you must **protect from freeze (especially the graft)**. Its dwarf habit ensures it remains manageable for patio gardening while still providing a heavy harvest of exotic fruit. |
| Exposure | Full Sun (8+ hours daily for best fruit sweetness) |
| Height x Width | 8-10' Height x 6-8' Width (Smaller in containers) |
| Water | Moderate; requires deep, consistent watering. Ensure excellent drainage, as Ujukitsu does not like soggy soil. Allow the top inch of soil to dry before watering again. |
| Zones | 9 - 11 (Must be protected from frost) |
| Fertilization | Apply a high-quality citrus fertilizer in late winter, late spring, and late summer to support fruit development. |
| Pruning | Minimal; remove any suckers growing below the graft line and prune for shape in early spring after the danger of frost has passed. |
| Deer Resistance | Moderate |
