How to grow Sudachi

Citrus sudachi

Loves light. Seedlings will be frost sensitive. Mature plants (due to papeda ancestry) will be able to handle brief frosts with no problem.

Dried seed has lower germination rate. With fresh seed, clip the extreme tip, very carefully not damaging the embryo to speed up germination.
