Description
What could be better than picking your very own home-grown citrus fruits year after year with this large lime tree. It will produce highly fragrant blossom from later spring that are then followed by gorgeous seedless limes from October. Position this variety in a sunny spot of the garden, but remember to bring it indoors or cover it up for protection over the winter. Supplied as an established plant in a 4L pot, approximately 70-90cm tall, ready to pot on.
Top Tips
  • For best results, bring indoors to cool area for winter.
  • Feed with specialist feed every month in spring and summer growth - they are hungry fellows.
Care Information
  • The sweetly-fragranced flowers appear all year round, especially in late winter, and fruit ripens up to 12 months later - so plants are often in flower and fruiting at the same time.
  • Citrus tend not to thrive in centrally heated homes, so from mid-June to late September, give plants a treat and transfer them outside to make the most of the available sunshine - but remember they are not frost tolerant so will need bringing under cover if cold nights threaten.
  • In summer, water freely - ideally with rainwater, while in winter you can reduce the amount - allowing the surface to partially dry out before watering again.
  • Always allow excess water to drain away as overwatering in winter is one of the commonest problems, so err on the dry side.
  • Only minimal pruning is required to reshape or remove dead or damaged shoots.
Delivery Information

Our experienced team at the nursery will always carefully package and send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive once you receive and plant them. Although most plants are extremely tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme of weather conditions, we always avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme frosts or heat is forecast. We also avoid dispatching orders over Bank Holiday weekends.

If you have ordered a 'pre-order' item, these will be sent out as soon as possible after the quoted dispatch date and we generally ship your entire order with any pre-ordered items. Once your order has been dispatched, we will send you an email with details on how you can track it.

We send most of our orders via a fully tracked courier service with Yodel. We will send you a tracking link as soon as your order has been dispatched. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, we will not require a signature on delivery, and we ask out couriers to leave your item in a safe place ad your delivery address.

If you have delivery instruction and require our courier to leave your item in a specific place, please let us know - there is an option to leave a message for the courier at the checkout.

For smaller and single-item orders, we may send these via the post with Royal Mail - Tracking will not be available for orders sent via this method.
