Tahitian Lime 20cm 2.4

The Tahitian Lime Tree is a medium-sized, rather showy tree that can easily be trained to produce stunning specimens that really stand out on the patio! Easy to grow and care for, they can be grown either in a container or in the ground. They make great plants for hedging, espalier training or as specimen trees. The tree will produce fruit in its first year after planting and fruit production will increase every year. Proper maintenance is key to supporting and encouraging plant health for a productive citrus harvest. 

The Tahitian Lime Tree is considered to be the best choice of Lime due to it being more cold-tolerant than other species. It is easy to grow, generally pest and disease free, and it has larger, seedless fruits that have a less acidic flavour than the Key Lime.

The glossy, evergreen foliage looks great all year round and provides a wonderful backdrop for the fragrant, white flowers and edible green fruits. As an ‘everbearing’ plant this tree can provide you with fruit and flowers throughout the year. The fruits can be left on the tree so there will always be a lime ready to pick and use in your drink! They have the strongest, classic lime flavour when green but they are at their juiciest when left to ripen to yellow.
