Yuzu is a unique citrus tree that is common in Japanese cuisine. The tart juice and rind of the fruit, which has a flavor like a mix of lemons, grapefruits, and mandarins, can be used in sweet and savory dishes or added to cocktails.
While not as widely known as other citruses, yuzu is a more cold-hardy citrus tree. Depending on your climate, yuzu trees can be grown outdoors or in containers for homegrown harvests of fragrant golden-yellow fruits. Once established, the trees can deliver harvests of ripe fruits in late fall to early winter
