Notes
'Pomona' 1 gallon (Citrus limetta 'Pomona') is a tree for the food garden, grown for its juicy, seedless fruit. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 9 and warmer, down to about 20°F (-7°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes full sun. The greenish-yellow fruits are as big as a lime, somewhat sweet, and low in acid. It is less thorny than Eureka lemon plants.
Pairs well with Hass avocado, Tuscan Blue rosemary, and African daisy.
