Finger Lime - Pink Ice

The aroma of the fruits is similar to ruby grapefruit, and is perfect for cocktails and drinks, as well as cooking.

It is a great variety for growing in containers and in warm courtyards, and does best in full sun. Water thoroughly in spring and summer.

Lemon Myrtle

$24.00 ($18.75-$34.00 choose a size)

The Lemon Myrtle occurs naturally throughout coastal Qld rainforests. It is a spectacular ornamental tree due to both its appearance and the superb fragrance of its flowers and leaves. The leaves and flowers are used in sweet and savoury dishes or as a refreshing tea. However as boiling or baking often reduces the flavour. The leaves are best added to the recipe at the end of the cooking process and either left to steam with the lid on or made into a sauce or dressing. It is usually the older and fully hardened-off leaves that are harvested for use. Enthusiasts describe the distilled oil from this tree as 'more lemony than lemon' and its used extensively to scent confectionery, perfumes, aromatherapy oil and food flavourings.

Fingerlime - Rosebank Purple

I'm looking forward to it flourishing. Unfortunately the one I had tried before carked it - location was too shady and boggy, they rock-hard dry. My fault, not the plants. I'm hopeful this one stands a much better chance.
