Tahitian lime features glossy dark green foliage that adds a lush, vibrant feel to your garden throughout the year. In summer, its white, fragrant flowers bloom, followed by green, rounded fruit that ripens to a cheerful yellow from mid-autumn to mid-winter. This versatile lime tree consistently enhances your garden's appeal, and it can even yield a minor crop of fruit outside the autumn and winter seasons. Ideal for cooking and refreshing drinks
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
