My Edible Fruit Trees: Citrus Trees QLD

Lime - Red Centered (Grafted) ^10/10

Comments: -

Such a cute little fruit, this one was bought late last year, planted in a grow bag while we decide where to install it (as with most of our spontanious purchases haha) and it has already fruited for us.

Egg-shaped little red limes. Great for seafood and sald and drinks! Low maintenance, looks like a finger lime in terms of the greenery, and appears to be just as slow growing and hardy.

Finger Lime - d'Emerald (Grafted) ^10/10

Comments: - Going great guns in a grow bag until we decide exactly where to pop him in the ground. Fruiting already, and we only bought it late last year. Fruit should be ready to pick around Easter I'd say - highly recommend!

Dwarf Lime - Tahitian (Grafted) ^10/10

Comments: -

Going great, has lowanna strawberries growing around the base with some french marigolds and a french lavender as well. Doesn't seem to mind, in fact they may be acting like mulch perhaps.

Al lthe fruit dropped this time, but that's to be expected with a brand new young lime tree. It was also suffering black aphids for a day or two before I noticed, but some white oil sorted them out very swiftly and then ladybirds came and helped as well.

Very healthy, happy young tree.
