“Alstonville” Finger Lime 90mm Pots (Cutting Grown)

Description

Finger lime “Alstonville” is a well known commercial variety with mostly seedless fruit and lime green flesh, the skin is smooth and brown with green tinges. A highly productive selection with excellent quality fruit.

All our Finger Lime trees are clones, propagated from mature wood and will generally start to bear when the trees are quite small but it is best to remove these fruit and let the trees reach around 80cm in height (usually 12 – 18 months) before allowing the fruit to develop on the tree.

The young trees are 3-4 months old, 8-10cm tall, sun hardened and ready to plant into a larger pot.

Finger limes do not have to be grafted to perform well. They are native to rainforest areas of northern NSW and Queensland and are resistant to root diseases.

Please Note: our trees are not grown from seed-seedling trees are not true to type and can take 8-10 years to bear.

Finger limes (Citrus australasica) are grown in much the same way as other citrus species. They are best planted in full sun in fertile soil that is well drained. They also grow well in large pots in a sunny position.

Please note: we can only supply Finger Lime trees within QUEENSLAND due to state quarantine regulations.
