DWARF YEN BEN LEMON
The Yen Ben variety is known as a ‘true’ lemon. It is lighter in colour then a Meyer and is more tart in flavour. It has a smooth, thin skin, a high level of acidic juice and few pips. Also known as a Lisbon lemon, it originated in Queensland, Australia during the 1930s. It caught the attention of New Zealand fruit researchers in the mid 1970s, resulting in the planting of a large number of trees. A vigorous grower with thin skinned juicy fruit. Prolific producer.
