Today I planted a Japanese citrus called Haruka that I got from Ken. This variety was first discovered in Ehime in southern Japan. The tree has long spikes and it produces a fruit that looks like a lemon but has a honey sweetness with a tangy after taste. There are so many types of citrus to choose from it’s difficult to decide which ones to grow.
