Thompson & Morgan 1 x Citrus Plant Caviar Lime 3 Litre Pot

Embark on a culinary adventure with the Lime 'Caviar Lime' (Citrus australasica), a half-hardy thorny evergreen shrub or small tree rapidly gaining popularity as gourmet bush tucker. Adorned with white spring flowers, this exotic citrus transforms as dark green slender pods mature into delightful pink spheres—nicknamed 'Lime Caviar.' These pink 'pearls' inside the pods offer a unique taste experience, popping in the mouth with an intense citrus fizz reminiscent of a blend between lime and grapefruit. Versatile and delightful, the Lime Caviar can be enjoyed straight from the tree or used in pickles, marmalades, desserts, and as a distinctive addition to drinks. Self-fertile and requiring care similar to other citrus fruits, this exquisite plant reaches a height of 300cm with a spread of 250cm. Ideal for patios, conservatories and scented gardens, the 'Caviar Lime' stands out as a specimen plant in exotic gardens. Its fragrant flowers and lush, shiny green foliage bring a touch of Mediterranean style to any space. While it takes time to mature and produce fruit, the Lime 'Caviar Lime' is a wonderful, classy plant, offering an additional bonus of intense scent throughout the year, especially in winter. Hardy to 5°C, it thrives outdoors from May to October and can be brought indoors during the winter months. Supplied in a 3-litre nursery pot.
