Unicyclemike:
Does anyone like the taste of Yuzu?  How would you describe the taste?  I have seen videos that show restaurants like to use it on their fish.

The rind is edible and the juice is pleasant, acidic but with hints of grapefruit and even mandarin. Used in recipes or combined with sugar it's even better. The fruit is very seedy but the rest of it makes up for it if you can find a use for it.

Unicyclemike:
Thank you for your response. Approximately how large are the fruit and do you know when they ripen?

It depends on the variety of yuzu, they vary in size significantly. If you're thinking of buying the most common collection which is sold in the US, then about the size of a medium-large mandarin, depending slightly on growing conditions. https://citrusvariety.ucr.edu/crc1216 gives season of ripeness and size information pretty specifically. Note that while this is thought of as the only "yuzu" among commercial growers in the US, that is very much not the case in Japan (but relatively few collections have English description; and also there are things like shishiyuzu/oniyuzu which are not the same species as yuzu), and also not the case in Europe, where it seems like there's a half dozen or so collections circulating.

vnomonee:
Yep, here's mine (assuming its the common variety in the US). Not very big but these were also the first fruits 1 year from the graft date.
