Australian Finger Lime - Grafted & Matured

Australian Finger Lime (Citrus Australasica)

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.

Our plants are 3 years old grafted onto trifoliate rootstock. Very hardy and frost tolerant. Grafted plants will fruit much faster than the seedling or cutting grown.

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. 

Plants are healthy and bushy, some have flowers.
