A cold-hardy deciduous citrus shrub, Flying Dragon is as ornamental as it is practical. This distinctive dwarf form features curving, contorted stems and dramatic twisted thorns — making it ideal for use as a striking specimen plant or an impenetrable security hedge. In spring, it bears small, lightly scented white blossoms, followed by fuzzy, orange-yellow fruit about the size of a ping pong ball. The fruit is filled with seeds and yields around 20% juice. Though the juice is sour, it makes an excellent flavouring, while the peel — bitter yet aromatic — is prized for marmalades and candied peel. Rich in natural pectin, it requires no added gelling agent for jellies. Even small trees can produce hundreds of fruit each season. Its trifoliate green leaves turn a brilliant orange in autumn before dropping to reveal the sculptural, twisted branches that make this tree so unique. The slow-growing Flying Dragon is ideal as a security barrier or privacy hedge, ornamental feature tree, bonsai subject or garden accent. Prune hard to maintain hedge height and density, or selectively prune to showcase its striking, contorted stems.

Soil: Well-drained soil.

Meyer Lemon is a compact, evergreen citrus tree prized for both its ornamental appeal and delicious fruit. A natural hybrid between a lemon and an orange, it produces fruit that is noticeably less acidic and slightly sweeter than traditional lemons. The tree features lush, rich green foliage complemented by small, fragrant white blossoms that typically appear in autumn. These are followed by attractive, small to medium-sized golden-orange fruits that ripen from autumn through to spring. The thin-skinned fruit is exceptionally juicy, making it perfect for fresh drinks, cooking, and marmalades. Meyer Lemon is well-suited to gardens, courtyards, and pots. It requires minimal watering during winter but benefits from consistent moisture throughout the warmer summer months to support healthy growth and fruit production.

Lisbon is Australia's most widely grown commercial lemon, but it's equally at home in the backyard garden. It produces medium to large fruit with thin, smooth skin, exceptional juice content, and a bright, tangy flavour, making it an excellent all-round lemon for cooking, baking, preserving, and refreshing homemade drinks. Lisbon Lemon typically bears one abundant crop each year, with fruit ripening over a relatively short period. Its thin yet durable skin gives the fruit an excellent shelf life, allowing you to enjoy your harvest for longer.  One thing to keep in mind is that Lisbon Lemon trees can be quite thorny, so take care when harvesting. Grafted onto dwarfing rootstock, our Dwarf Citrus will produce a more compact tree growing but the fruit will still be normal size and quantity making this tree very suitable for smaller gardens.

Soil: Well-drained soil.

Conditions: Full sun. Frost and coastal tolerant.

Size: Height 2.5-3.5m x width 2.5m

The Red Finger Lime, often known as the Caviar Lime, is a distinctive native Australian citrus prized for its unique, gourmet fruit. Long, slender fruits are filled with vibrant red, pearl-like vesicles that resemble caviar, bursting with a deliciously sweet lime flavour. Fruit naturally falls from the tree once ripe, typically between November and March. It is important to allow the fruit to fully mature on the tree, as it will not continue to ripen after picking. The striking citrus pearls are perfect for adding a burst of flavour and texture to summer drinks, seafood, desserts, chutneys, jams, and marmalades. With its attractive evergreen foliage and naturally compact habit, the Red Finger Lime makes an excellent feature tree in the garden or thrives in a large pot on a patio or courtyard.

Soil: Plant in composted, well-draining soil. Mulch in spring and keep the soil moist in summer.
Conditions: Will perform best in a warm sheltered spot in full sun. Tolerant of light frost and dry conditions.
Size: Height 2m x width 1.5-2m
