   to 
  37°

  " 
  Yuzu 
  is 
  a 
  large 
  evergreen 
  tree 
  bearing 
  round, 
  medium-sized 
  fruit, 
  which 
  is 
  

   very 
  acid, 
  and 
  has 
  a 
  coarse, 
  thick 
  rind. 
  The 
  fruit 
  is 
  used 
  in 
  Japan 
  in 
  place 
  of 
  

   the 
  lemon, 
  which 
  is 
  used 
  in 
  this 
  country. 
  The 
  pulp 
  cells 
  are 
  12 
  or 
  13 
  in 
  number, 
  

   having 
  2 
  or 
  3 
  seeds 
  in 
  each. 
  This 
  Yuzu 
  is 
  so 
  hardy 
  that 
  the 
  bearing 
  fruit 
  can 
  be 
  

   seen 
  when 
  the 
  ground 
  is 
  covered 
  with 
  snow 
  more 
  than 
  2 
  feet 
  deep. 
  In 
  some 
  

   sections 
  of 
  Japan 
  the 
  Yuzu 
  is 
  considered 
  better 
  than 
  Citrus 
  trifoliata, 
  as 
  trees 
  

   grafted 
  on 
  it 
  grow 
  better 
  and 
  live 
  longer 
  than 
  when 
  grafted 
  on 
  Citrus 
  trifoliata. 
  

   When 
  kumquats 
  are 
  grafted 
  on 
  Yuzu 
  they 
  weigh 
  more 
  than 
  they 
  do 
  when 
  

   grafted 
  on 
  Citrus 
  trifoliata 
  and 
  have 
  a 
  smoother 
  and 
  more 
  reddish-colored 
  rind."
