Green Sapphire Finger Lime Trees -90mm Pots (Cutting Grown)

Description

Green Sapphire (Citrus australasica) is a select green variety of finger lime that produce a large green fruit that has a light green coloured flesh. The  trees are 8-12 months old, 30 to 40cm tall, sun hardened and ready to plant into the ground

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.

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 are an amazing Australian native fruit that come in various colours including red, pink, green, and purple.

Finger limes 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.

We only send trees early in the week to help ensure they arrive at their destination before the weekend.
