Red Finger Lime Tree - Citrus australasica

So you want to grow your own citrus but you're overwhelmed with all the different options? Or maybe you're anxious about that awful citrus greening that's wiped out entire groves across Florida. Set your fears aside, we've selected the most superior and most HLB-tolerant citrus varieties so you don't have to do any guess work and can just focus on producing delicious fruit. Finger Limes don't generally face the greening issues that plague many other citrus varieties, which makes them an ideal option for your garden. With intense lime flavor, this "citrus caviar" will delight your tastebuds and your dinner guests who are used to traditional limes rather than finger lime pearls that are budding with flavor. 

Red Finger Lime is beautiful and very thorny, which helps protect the fruit from scavengers. Red Finger Lime fruit averages 2-4 inches in length. What makes this fruit truly unique is its color, which makes it even more ornamental and tastier than green finger limes. It packs the same great lime punch, but with some berry and floral notes. It's self-fertile, but planting a second tree (like the Giant Green Finger Lime) will help increase your yield. This does great in the landscape and when grown in a container. 

This Red Finger Lime comes in a 1-gallon pot, which is the same size commercial growers plant in their groves, so you will be ready to plant straight in the ground or container of your choice.
