Notes
'Wekiwa' 1 gallon (Citrus 'Wekiwa') is a tree for the food garden. 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. It is a tangelo, a cross between a tangerine and a grapefruit. The large, round to slightly flattened fruits turn bright yellow and taste sweet with a touch of tartness.
Pairs well with Fuyu persimmon, Lemon Grass lemongrass, and Angelonia.
