The highlights

  • Glossy green foliage
  • Bright green, zesty fruit
  • Fragrant tiny white flowers
  • Produces delicious limes all year round

Description

  • This attractive patio tree produces delicious bright green, zesty fruits throughout the year - perfect for juicing, garnishing drinks or making a Key Lime pie
  • Wonderfully glossy, dark green foliage
  • Delicate clusters of fragrant tiny white flowers
  • Fruit may take up to a year to ripen, but are well worth the wait
  • Beautiful seedless limes are produced in abundance, and if left on the tree will eventually turn yellow - these are just as tasty!
  • Our potted trees are supplied in EcoPots™. Eco pots use 70% less plastic and are fully recyclable, unlike normal single use pots. They flex and so produce less root spiralling and travel better in the post.MORE
  • Our trees are usually between 18 and 36 months old at the time of dispatch.
  • Our trees are professionally pruned before dispatching. This formative pruning can involve cutting the main leader, if the expert tree growers decide this will produce a better shaped tree. This can stop the tree becoming "leggy", and promote stronger, bushier growth.MORE

Tuscany

Meet Andreas

Start with a touch of Tuscan sun

Over 99% of our plants are grown in the UK, but where that’s not possible, Andreas steps in! Some plants need to start life in the warmth of sunny Tuscany, where Andreas nurtures them to maturity before handing over to John in the South Downs, to toughen them up for UK gardens.
