Poncirus trifoliata is an unusual shrub related to citrus, but extremely cold tolerant (fully hardy in the UK). It opens its white scented flowers in March-April, before the leaves appear and from September, 4-5 cm large yellow, lemon-like fruits develop (stronger than a lemon; suitable for marmalade or for tea). Leaves turn bright yellow in Autumn. The plant is covered in large spines, and the stems stay green for several years, which gives a spectacular architectural appearance to the plant during the winter months. Fast growing and drought tolerant plant ideal for patio, for the garden or for a low hedge-barrier, but grows much slower in shallow, bonsai-pot containers does not mind to be trimmed.
The intended main use of this plant is to grow food for human consumption. We always recommend further research to learn the different ways in which the food source can be prepared and consumed.
