It is a cultivar of the Lisbon lemon and was developed in Australia in the late 1930s. Each Yen Ben tree can produce hundreds of juicy flavourful lemons per year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYen Ben lemon trees are vigorous growers and can reach heights of up to 3-4 metres.  We top our Yen Ben trees to a manageable height of 1.5m and they thrive. We do this to make picking of lemons and budwood easy. Yen Ben lemons make a tasty limoncello.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNames\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYen Ben  Citrus x limon 'Yen Ben'\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrigin\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAustralia\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMature Size\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3mx 2m.
