Pinky Lemon - Citrus limon ‘Pinky’
‘Pinky’ is a lemon grown for its pink tinted flesh, giving juice with a soft blush colour while keeping the full acidity and aromatic oil of a standard lemon. In the garden it behaves like any good backyard lemon: a rounded evergreen tree with glossy foliage, purple flushed new growth, fragrant white flowers and a main winter crop with scattered fruit at other times. The novelty is in the glass rather than in the growing, which is exactly why it earns a spot in a productive garden that already has room for one citrus.
Why Pinky Lemon
Pink Flesh: The blush toned flesh gives juice, cordials and cocktails a distinctive colour that a standard lemon cannot.
True Lemon Acidity: It performs in cooking exactly as a Eureka or Lisbon does, so it is not a compromise crop.
Long Harvest: The heaviest crop comes through winter, with lighter flushes across the rest of the year in warm districts.
Fragrant Blossom: Repeated flushes of scented white flowers carry through a courtyard on warm evenings.
Compact Habit: Stays within the scale of a suburban backyard and takes shaping without losing productivity.
Ideal Applications
Backyard Citrus: The workhorse position beside a path or lawn where fruit is picked as needed.
Large Container: Suits a substantial pot on a sunny terrace with regular feeding and watering.
Espalier on a Warm Wall: Trained flat on wire against a north facing wall it fruits well and takes almost no depth.
Productive Screen: A short run makes a low evergreen barrier that also crops.
Specimen & Installation
Spacing (screening/hedge): 2 to 2.5m
Spacing (feature/avenue): 3 to 4m
Best Planting Season: Spring and early autumn, into warm soil
Soil & Drainage: Free draining, slightly acidic to neutral soil. Raise the planting position or mound in heavy clay, because wet feet cause root rot and collapse
Establishment Care: Water deeply and regularly through the first two summers, since inconsistent moisture during fruit set is the main reason young lemons drop their crop. Feed with a complete citrus fertiliser in late winter and late summer, keep mulch and grass off the trunk, remove any growth arising below the graft union, and shelter young trees from frost and cold wind as lemons are the most frost sensitive of the common citrus.
