Finger Lime
- Product number: 822651.1
- Origin: Australia
- Latin: Citrus australasica
This tropical Australian citrus fruit produces very unique fruits! They are finger-shaped (sometimes egg-shaped), 8-10 cm long and 2-5 cm in diameter. Open the fruits and the pulp comes out in small balls. The combination of mouthfeel (just like caviar!) and delicious fresh-aromatic lime flavor will be unforgettable! The plants we supply have smaller leaves than most citrus species and prefer a warm overwintering. The pink blossoms and leaves have a wonderful scent. Our plants produce pink, green, white, or yellow fruit vesicles, varying per plant.
