Finger Limes

    1 responses

Kay starts with ...
Would it be possible to grow a Finger Lime tree in my courtyard? I would like to grow one in a similar large pot that I have growing a Japanese Maple.
Kind regards,
Kay

You haven't specified much about your courtyard and so I cannot give a definitive answer, but finger limes are a rather hardy shrub/tree and can tolerate a range of soil types and also from full shade to full sun. That being said, they perform best in high quality soils with a decent amount of sun, but less fertiliser than other citrus. They are slow growing, but a large pot is recommended. Also - grafted are easier to grow and more productive, but this varies from each cultivar.

P.S, there are already numerous articles in these forums that address these details further such as what varieties to pick etc. You should check them out.

Hope this helps,
