Light: Access to plenty of sunlight is a must for Eureka lemon trees. Ideally, at least ten hours a day. Although they can cope in a partial shade location, they won't produce an abundant harvest, and their growth rate will slow significantly.

Soil: You'll need a well-drained soil for your Eureka lemon tree. Preferably it'll be loamy or sandy, and they thrive in acidic conditions.

Water: Eureka lemon trees are more water-hungry than the Lisbon variety. Ensuring the soil is kept consistently moist is recommended. In the summer, you may need to water the tree every day. Although these trees like to be kept moist, they can't stand saturated conditions or standing water.

Temperature and Humidity: Eureka lemon trees aren't a cold-tolerant species. If temperatures reach as low as 20 degrees Fahrenheit, your tree will likely not survive outside. They also don't cope well with harsh winds and need a sheltered location.

If your house is very hot and suffers from dry air, using a humidifier can help to ensure the tree receives enough moisture and remains healthy and fruiting.

Fertilizer: Heavily fruiting trees like the Eureka use up a lot of energy and are always hungry as a result. They appreciate organic matter being added to their soil and having a bi-annual feed with fertilizer that is specifically designed for citrus trees.
