Dwarf Tahitian Lime 20cm 2.4

Dwarf Tahitian Lime (Citrus x latifolia) is grafted onto dwarfing rootstock making this a perfect plant for smaller gardens or large pots. This citrus is well suited to Australian conditions but prefers a sheltered position in cooler climates. Growing into an attractive small tree, the fragrant creamy white flowers have a strong citrus fragrance. Fruit production is at it’s peak during the cooler months; with the thin skinned round seedless fruit best picked when it is dark green as it can rot if left on the tree to turn lemon yellow.

Prefers a full sun position in well drained soil; if growing in pots ensure a good quality potting mix is used. Water and fertilise regularly. Trees may have some thorns, particularly when young.
