Description

Forget everything you thought you knew about limes! This Citrus 'Red Lime' is all set to thrive on your patio!

This is a citrus tree that arrives at your door already fruiting, draped in the most striking deep red-purple limes you have ever laid eyes on. The impact is completely extraordinary!

And the flavour? Even more surprising. Red Limes deliver a rich, tangy citrus hit with remarkable undertones of raspberry and plum - a complexity and depth of flavour that makes them utterly irresistible for cocktails, gourmet cooking, marinades and desserts.

Your Citrus Red Lime tree will thrive in a warm, sheltered position of the garden, making it ideal for growing in a pot on your patio from late March/April, before offering indoor protection from October.

As with all Citrus products, make sure to apply our Blooming Fast Citrus Feed every time you water this plant while in active growth.

Supplied as an established plant with fruits, in a 20cm pot, ready to plant.

Please note: Some fruit may naturally drop during transit. Do not worry, with the right care, your tree will continue to grow and produce more fruit in its season.

Top Tips

For best results, bring indoors to a cool area for from October, before returning to the garden for summer from late March / April.
Feed with our Specialist Citrus Feed every month in spring and summer growth - they are hungry fellows.

Care Information

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.
