With a weak lesion, chlorosis of the leaves develops, their plate curls, they dry out and fall off. With severe damage, individual branches and whole trees die off. In diseased plants, shoot formation is weakened, the roots rot; such trees bloom earlier and more abundantly, but the fruits are small and fall off prematurely.

Lemon Eureka is widespread for the most part in European countries due to its uniqueness and not strong demands on care, and their fruits have a pleasant taste with a slight sourness. Variegated Lemon Eureka was accidentally spotted in the state of California, mutating on its own in a lemon grove. Over the centuries, local gardeners have developed a certain set of rules for the creation and care of this fruit. They sowed seeds and selected the best mutations. By the middle of 1800, Thomas Garey, who was improving the classification, gave him the name "Eureka Garey".

Due to its taste and early maturity, it boldly competed in the US market with the Lisbon variety. At the moment, this type of lemon is one of the most popular in all countries of the world. He is not whimsical, well leafy, blooms and bears not in periods, but constantly, i.e. all year round.

Features of caring for a tree lemon Eureka Variegatny

Everyone knows that lemons are evergreens that need to absorb light evenly throughout the year. Lemon Eureka is afraid of cold weather, so it is necessary to take measures to adapt it to the living conditions of an apartment, as well as to prevent diseases and pests.

Tips for Care and Growing Variegated Lemon concluded in creating optimal conditions for its normal development:

• Intense but diffused lighting.
• It is better to use special fertilizers for variegated leaves, i.e. with a reduced nitrogen content.
• Avoid constant exposure to the sun. In direct sunlight, the plant may experience burns.
• If white shoots appear on the tree, they must be removed. They are very weak due to the lack of chlorophyll. They do the same if they notice completely green young leaves. They are stronger than variegated and can stifle the growth of others.
• The soil and air must be at least 60% moisture. The soil should be regularly sprayed (especially in summer), once every 7-10 days the entire trunk should be watered with warm water and the soil should be pH neutral.

Temperature regime

Indoor Variegated Lemon Eureka grows well and develops at an air temperature in the room from 18 to 20C, and its variegation will be more pronounced with an insufficient amount of heat. Lemon stops bearing fruit and even grows if the ambient temperature is less than 13 C. For normal development and ripening of fruits, the temperature should be slightly higher than + 21-22.

In summer, if direct sunlight constantly falls into the windows, it is recommended to move the tree away from the window, and in winter, on the contrary, put it closer. Already in the third year, with proper care, this exotic culture will bear its first fruits.

Top dressing and land

Top dressing for citrus plants is different in summer and winter.

Eureka belongs to the most famous world varieties, both industrial and greenhouse, indoor. The variety has been known for a long time, especially citrus breeders from California did a lot to popularize it. Despite its widespread occurrence, it is relatively rare in amateur collections in the post-Soviet space.

History of creation

Eureka, like many other citrus varieties, has its own legend. It is difficult to say now how much it corresponds to reality. In any case, many of her moments have remained really documented.

So, most likely, the ancestor of the variety came to America from Italy, around the middle of the 19th century. On one of the plantations near Los Angeles, local experts worked to improve Italian fruits. To this end, they sowed lemon seeds in order to select the most promising trees later.

By 1858, they managed to select one of the plants with good varietal and commercial qualities. After about 20 years, his grafted descendants ended up in the hands of a venerable specialist, Thomas Garey. He improved the cultivar, multiplied it, and, using his authority, gave the new cultivar a name - "Eureka Gareya". Soon enough, the new lemon competed with the then undisputed leader of the American market - the variety "". This was largely because the new plant had a number of excellent qualities. Let's talk about them!

Interesting! Among the exports of industrial varieties of lemons, Eureka ranks first in all countries except Italy.

Description of the plant

The crown is of medium size (usually no more than 1.5 meters in rooms), it is characterized by increased spreading. The fact is that the branches of Eureka are thin, drooping, often hanging down with their tips. In general, it is worth noting that the variety, due to its popularity, has a lot of clones and cultivars, sometimes very different in appearance.

For information! There is a strong belief that Eureka was used by breeders to create the popular lemon "".

The branches of this fruit are almost devoid of thorns, there are relatively few leaves on them, they are dark in color, rounded. Fruits are formed mainly at the ends of the branches, bending them strongly, which creates an additional "weeping" for the tree.

It should be noted that in recent decades, the variegated form of our hero, Variegated Eureka limon, has been in high demand in the world of citrus growers. It is appreciated for its unusual, attractive leaves and unusual fruit color. On the other hand, the size of the fruit, and also the taste characteristics, are significantly inferior to the "classic" Eureka.

The trees of our variety are thermophilic, they are afraid of sudden changes in temperature. In addition, lemon is picky about moisture levels and is susceptible to pest attacks. These qualities contributed to the fact that in indoor citrus growing it is considered quite whimsical.

Flowering features

The plant is remontant, it can bloom all year round. The flowers are large, fragrant; in variegated varieties, the buds are almost purple. Flowers are placed mainly at the edges of the branches.

Description of fruits

High yield is one of the most important advantages of the variety! Even at home, a developed specimen is capable of producing up to eight dozen fruits per year. In good greenhouses and outdoors, this figure will be four times more!

Eureka fruits have an average weight of about 120 - 160 grams. Their shape is different, from almost round to elongated, cylindrical. There is always a nipple at the tip of the fetus, separated by a barely noticeable hollow. The shape of the nipple can also vary, being sometimes flat or obviously pointed.

Variegated form

Other characteristics of these lemons:

- the skin is dense, of medium thickness, bright yellow;

- small grooves are often visible on the surface, the surface texture is porous;

- high palatability, fruits are distinguished by high acidity, abundance of juice;

- the pulp has a slightly greenish or yellowish tint, soft, almost devoid of seeds.

- excellent transportability, high keeping quality.

Interesting! As already mentioned, the fruits of variegated forms are significantly different. In particular, they are striped during ripening, with alternating green and yellow colors. Their pulp is deep pink, while the juice is colorless.

Thus, Eureka is predominantly an industrial variety, its home keeping is not easy. At the same time, variegated forms have gained popularity for their increased decorativeness.
