Citrus-Lemon limon ‘Villafranca’
Citrus limon 'Villafranca' has classic, tart lemon flavour.
Citrus limon ‘Villafranca’ combines characteristics of the common ‘Lisbon’ and ‘Eureka’ lemons with classic, tart lemon flavour. This cultivar has vigorous, compact growth and less dense foliage. It produces fruits almost all year-round. Good cold tolerance. All of our citrus are grafted onto C-35 citrange, trifoliate orange, or other semi-dwarfing rootstock which confer good hardiness and production while reducing overall tree size.
