Australian Finger Lime (Citrus Australasica)
This is a matured plant ready to flower or already flowering. Most plants has flowers on currently, some will be flowering this year while a few with fruit on. We will pick them by random.
Our air layered Finger Lime plants are well established, about 5+ years, bushy, healthy and ready to flowers. We expect them to be mature enough and producing fruit this year. Half of the batch has flowers before. Very hardy and frost tolerant. Plant is air layered so its an exact clone to the fruiting mother's plant.
Finger limes are considered a gourmet bushfood and are sought after by top restaurants around the world. Finger limes are a hardy shrub to small tree and in cultivation plants usually grow around 2 to 5 metres but can be pruned to a manageable height to make them easy to harvest. Leaves are significantly smaller than regular citrus, and they have thorns and slender finger-like fruit from 6 to 12 centimetres long.
You can use your finger limes with seafood, in salads, drinks, desserts, sauces or marmalades. Fruit can be frozen whole or the rind can be dried and crushed to be used as a spice.
To open, cut the fruit crossways and squeeze out the lime caviar. The oil from the skin can affect the flavour of the pulp, so it’s important to avoid getting excess oil from the skin on the pulp.
