Judy’s Everbearing produces cylindrical, finger-sized fruit, from summer into autumn, and it is not uncommon to have occasional fruit appear throughout the year. Judy’s Everbearing produces excellent crops of tasty finger limes, with a very dark green skin, full of glistening citrus pearls.
Originating from the understory, Judy’s Everbearing naturally enjoys a dappled light, although it performs best in full sun in a warm, protected location. Use the citrus pearls as a delicious garnish for seafood and shellfish. Use the fruit whole or sliced when making tangy marmalades and sauces.
Care
• Plant in a sunny, sheltered location with well-drained soil
• Water regularly during dry periods, especially when fruiting
• Fertilise with a citrus-specific fertiliser in spring and late summer
• Prune in late winter to maintain shape and remove dead or crossing branches
• Protect young trees from frost; established trees tolerate light frosts
• Mulch to retain moisture, keeping mulch away from the trunk
