What Makes the Yen Ben Lemon Stand Out?

The Yen Ben Lemon delivers everything you want from a Lisbon lemon tree. It thrives in New Zealand's climate, producing large crops of high-quality lemons from winter into spring. The nearly seedless fruit boasts a bright yellow colour and a zesty, true lemon flavour perfect for cooking, drinks, and preserves. The Yen Ben Lemon is also known for its upright growth and dense, glossy foliage—making it as attractive as it is productive.

Growing Your Yen Ben Lemon in New Zealand

Plant your Lisbon lemon tree in a sunny, sheltered spot with well-draining soil. Yen Ben Lemons tolerate light frost and are well-suited to most gardens across New Zealand, though they’ll appreciate extra protection in cooler regions. With regular watering and a citrus-specific fertiliser, you’ll enjoy robust growth and heavy fruiting year after year. For pots or smaller spaces, a Yen Ben Lemon is easy to manage and looks stunning on patios or balconies.

Citrus Companions and Grafted Extras

Looking to expand your citrus collection? Pair your Yen Ben with other exceptional varieties such as Lemon 'Meyer', loved for its sweeter flavour and easy care, or Lemon 'Ponderosa', known for its extra-large fruit. For the best of both worlds, consider a Lemon Meyer and Yen Ben (Double Grafted Lemon) tree; you’ll enjoy the classic tang of Yen Ben alongside the mild, fragrant Meyer on a single tree.
