For WA and Tasmania, we send trees on the first Tuesday of each month.

Due to the new Fire Ant restrictions , SA trees will also be sent on the first Tuesday of each month until further notice.

Finger Lime

Botanical Name: Citrus Australasica

Fruit Characteristics: Finger limes are small, elongated citrus fruits (finger looking) with a thin skin of various colours that is semi-smooth with a leathery texture.

They have a unique and delicious pulp, that consists of many small pearls that are firm, slightly sticky, juicy, and crisp.

When eaten, the pearls create a popping sensation with a burst of sweet-tart flavours in the mouth.

Finger limes bear a minty, citrus-forward aroma with a tangy, sweet, and slightly sour, floral, lemon-lime flavour.
