Description
Citrus australasica, commonly known as Finger Lime, is a unique and exotic citrus tree valued for its elongated fruits filled with caviar-like juice vesicles. These small pearls burst with a tangy citrus flavor, making it highly prized in gourmet cuisine. The plant features dense green foliage and often thorny branches, adding both ornamental and practical interest. Well adapted to Cyprus’ climate in sheltered areas, it thrives in warm temperatures and prefers protection from strong winds and cold. It grows best in sunny to partially shaded locations with well-drained soil and regular watering. Ideal for gardens, specialty orchards, and large containers.
