Meet the Ruby My Dear Finger Lime, a citrus tree that's anything but ordinary!
Originally from Australia, finger limes are famous for the tiny, juice-filled pearls hidden inside their fruit. And this variety takes things up a notch with its beautiful reddish skin and pink-to-red citrus pearls that pop in your mouth with a burst of tangy flavour.
Sometimes called citrus caviar, these little pearls are perfect for topping seafood, adding to cocktails, dressing up desserts, or eating straight from the fruit. No squeezing required!
The tree itself has small green leaves, a naturally bushy growth habit, and thorny branches. It can be grown in a container, making it a fun addition to your citrus collection.
A lemon is great, but have you ever grown citrus caviar?
Plant Care
Give your Ruby My Dear Finger Lime plenty of bright light, well-draining soil, and regular feeding with a balanced fertilizer during the growing season. Water thoroughly when the top layer of soil starts to dry, and avoid letting the roots sit in soggy soil. Prune as needed to maintain shape and remove dead branches. Be vigilant against common citrus pests.
When it starts getting cold outside, bring your tree indoors before temperatures drop below 10C consistently at night and place it under a good grow light or in your sunniest window.
- Propagation Method: Grafted plant. May produce fruit within 1 year with proper care.
- Fertility: Self-fertile.
