Red Finger LIME
Similar in form to Australian Finger Lime, the Red Finger Lime is also affectionately dubbed "Citrus Caviar". A unique citrus relative famed for its distinctive finger-like fruit containing tart, round, juicy lime vesicles in a striking red color. This fascinating Finger Lime varietal can be found growing wild in its native Australia where it has flourished without the aid of human propagation. The Red Finger Lime has a distinctly dark magenta fruit with unique red flesh that can be used as a garnish or addition to drinks and sauces.
Esteemed by chefs and cocktail enthusiasts, the Red Finger Lime adds a thrilling dimension to any citrus collection. Primary fruiting season spans from November to February, accompanied by tiny white and pink flowers appearing from May to July. Self-fertile and adaptable, it is grafted onto semi-dwarf rootstock, typically growing to heights of 10 to 15 feet when planted in the ground. Finger limes are a unique citrus species native to Australia and noted for their natural resistance to 'Huanlongbing' or 'Citrus Greening Disease' a bacterial citrus disease that is not found in Hawaii but affects many other countries.
