Pink Variegated Eureka Lemon Tree for Sale

The Pink Variegated Eureka Lemon Tree gives you the usefulness of a proper lemon tree with the look of an ornamental citrus. It is a sport of the classic Eureka lemon, but with variegated green-and-cream leaves, striped young fruit and pink flesh when the lemons are fully mature.

This is not a sweet lemon. The flavour is still sharp, aromatic and properly lemony, so you can use the juice and zest in cooking, drinks, baking, marinades and salad dressings. The pink flesh makes it especially lovely for homemade lemonade, cocktails, desserts and garnish where you want something a little more unusual than a standard yellow lemon.

The tree itself is the real showpiece. New growth can flush softly pink, the leaves are splashed with cream and green, and the developing fruit starts with pale green striping before ripening towards yellow. The stripes fade as the fruit matures, but the tree stays attractive even when it is not carrying a heavy crop.

Pink Variegated Eureka is usually a little less vigorous than a normal Eureka, which makes it a good choice for smaller gardens, courtyards and large containers. Plant it where it gets full sun, warmth and good drainage, and protect young trees from frost.

Our Pink Variegated Eureka Lemon Trees are supplied in 18cm pots and are grafted onto citrus rootstock. Grafted citrus trees establish faster and fruit sooner than seed-grown trees, while keeping the special variegated and pink-fleshed character of the variety.
