Description

Grow something genuinely different with Citrus 'Pink Caviar Lime' Tree, an extraordinary evergreen that brings fragrance, glossy foliage and one of the most unusual fruits a home gardener can grow.

This eye-catching tree produces slender fruits filled with juicy citrus pearls that burst in the mouth, creating a sharp, refreshing flavour often compared to lime with a hint of grapefruit. It is the sort of fruit that instantly sparks conversation, whether used in drinks, desserts, marmalades or simply enjoyed straight from the tree.

Even before the fruit arrives, the tree earns its place with aromatic white flowers and rich green foliage, so it looks attractive for far more than just harvest time.

In the UK, it is especially well suited to container growing, spending the warmer months outdoors in a sunny, sheltered spot before moving under cover for winter protection. That makes it a superb choice for patios, courtyards and conservatories.

Supplied as an established plant in a 4 litre pot, already 60-90cm tall on arrival, ready to plant.

Top Tips

For best results, bring indoors to a cool area for winter.
Feed with specialist feed every month in spring and summer growth - they are hungry fellows.

Care Information

Citrus tend not to thrive in centrally heated homes, so make sure this spends mid-June to late September 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.
Only minimal pruning is required to reshape or remove dead or damaged shoots.
Our beautiful Mediterranean citrus trees are grown in a slightly heavier growing medium, so be sure to take care when watering. Be sure not to overwater, as with all your plants, but also make sure not to allow the soil to dry out.
