Lemon Cappuccio

Important notice! Most citrus plants on the market are produced for planting in orchards in the Mediterranean countries. They have a large overall height, have high graft and are difficult to shape and support at home. Rootstocks on which they are grafted are very fast growing, which is fine for the open ground in the subtropics, but is not desirable when growing in pot in the temperate climate.

All our small citrus plants are produced specifically for the Bulgarian market and are ideally suited for home cultivation. The rootstocks cause compact growth, grafts are low and this allows making an excellent shape of the crown, to be suitable for growing in pots. The used rootstocks are trifoliate orange (Poncirus trifoliata 'Flying Dragon') and Volkamer lemon, Citrus volkameriana. Trifoliate orange is frost-hardy to -25°C, and significantly increases the cold resistance of plants grafted on it.

 Citrus limon Cappuccio

Citrus limon Cappuccio is a distinctive lemon variety originating from Italy, recognized for its unique fruit shape resembling a small “cap”. This characteristic form gives the variety both its name and its strong ornamental value.

The fruits are medium-sized with a bright yellow, aromatic peel rich in essential oils. The flesh is juicy and offers a classic lemon flavor, fresh and pleasantly acidic. Cappuccio is appreciated for both decorative and culinary use, suitable for fresh consumption, beverages, desserts, and cooking.

The variety is well suited for container growing, producing flowers and fruits under proper light and care, making it a favorite among citrus enthusiasts and collectors.
