VARIEGATED PINK EUREKA lemons provide juicy pink flesh fruit with a clear pink juice, and a foliage with glossy green leaves having white to pale yellow edges. . This fruit is perfect for a delicious pink lemonade. Eureka lemons originated in California from seeds that came from Sicily in the late 1850s. They are classified as true lemons, along with Lisbons, in that they are not crossed with any other citrus varieties.

Eureka lemon trees grow to between 10 and 20 feet tall, with a spreading and open growth habit. They are almost thornless with sparse foliage, which makes the fruit more prone to wind and sun damage.
