Citrus x limon 'Yen Ben'
Lemon


This is an improved version of Lisbon lemon with a compact growth habit. Yen Ben is a true lemon so will have a more sour taste than hybrid lemons. The large, oval fruits are tangy and considered excellent for culinary use. Fruit ripens in mid to late-winter. One of the hardiest lemons. Scented white flowers throughout summer. Self-fertile.
