Product Description
Finger limes (Citrus australasica) are a native citrus that produce elongated fruit which look like stubby little fingers. The pulp inside is made up of tiny translucent balls that are simply bursting with zestiness and what people love. To use the fruit simply cut it in half, squeeze the pulp out and add to seafood dishes, salads, desserts and even cocktails for a bit citrus zing.
Product Information
- SUN: Finger limes thrive in dappled light as well as full sun.

- EXPECTED BLOOMING PERIOD: Flowering from March to July, harvest from November to March.
- PLANTING SUGGESTIONS: Fertilize finger limes in the spring and summer. Do not over-fertilize during bloom and fruit development because it may cause the flowers and fruit to drop.
