I am trying to start a yuzu tree - after tasting in - great perfume! just wanted to add that it is apparently resistant ro 10F, so it is not so tender as it is sonmerimes believed.

I purchased a Yuzu clone from Trans-Pacific Nursery (World Plant Shop) here in Oregon as well as Yuzu seeds from the Trade Winds Fruit seed co. The Clone is doing well, has the expected double leaf compariable but more slender than Kaffir Limes (could there be some Kaffir in the Yuzu lineage?) and has been resiliant agienst a few spider mite and Mealy bug outbreaks...I've kept it in the pot here in Z8b, not willing to risk it just yet. As for the seeds, what was produced looks very unlike the clone. The leaves are single and oblate in comparison to the "real Yuzu", and the spider mites have loved munching on it...I suspect that Yuzu is a hybrid rather than a species (Citrus junos) so if you want to grow citrus from seed, stick with the Kaffir Limes ;-)
