Finger Lime (Caviar Lime)

Finger lime is an Australian rainforest citrus producing cylindrical finger-length fruits filled with spherical pulp vesicles that burst on the palate like caviar — highly prized in fine dining as a garnish. Grafted trees are strongly preferred over seedlings, which are slow to fruit and thorny; grafted plants begin fruiting in 2–3 years and are more manageable in size. The tree is self-fertile and does not require a pollinator; it performs well in containers and espalier forms. Fruit ripens in late autumn through winter; harvest when the skin (green, yellow, red, or black depending on variety) is fully colored and the fruit releases easily with gentle pressure — avoid overripening, as the vesicles lose their pop. Спосіб посадки: Висадка розсади Відстань між рослинами: 60–120 дюймів Висота: 60–144 дюймів Дні до схожості: null–null Температура ґрунту для схожості: -18–-18°C
