Description

Attractive sparkling variegated leaves and pinkish new growth backs bright yellow fruit.

If you want to add ornamental interest to your garden, a variegated pink lemon tree (Citrus limon, Eureka Variegated Pink ) can do the trick. In addition to its glossy, green and cream-coloured foliage and its white blooms and fragrance, this tree grows pink-fleshed fruit.

The immature lemons have green-striped skin and as they mature, they turn yellow. Variegated pink lemon trees can grow up to 15 feet tall in the garden and slightly shorter if you grow them in a container.
