Think grapefruit-like tartness with mandarin notes, rather than a sweet snacking orange.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eImagine grating a little freshly picked zest over dinner or adding a splash of tart juice to a homemade sauce.

Zone 8 plantings need particular care during cold spells; a zone rating is not a promise that an exposed tree will tolerate every winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYuzu is relatively cold-tolerant for citrus, but \u003cstrong\u003edo not rely on survival at 0°F\u003c\/strong\u003e. Young trees, container-grown roots, flowers, and fruit can be vulnerable. Choose a sheltered site and protect the tree before damaging freezes.
