Citrus australasica Red Finger Lime Grafted

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.
