Lime - Australian Desert 'Abundance' PBR

$99.00

Selection of unique native Lime from inland Australia, with great flavour and zing. "Abundance" is an earlier ripening cultivar with outstanding adaptation to heat and cold from its natural habitat. Trees grow to only 2.5m. Plants are thorny to prevent herbivores from browsing but top-most branches out of their reach are thornless and these quality grafted plants are produced from these thornless upper branches. From flowering to fruiting is generally only 3 months, making this a great backyard plant. This plant has Plant Breeder's Rights over it.

I had an old Tahitian lime that had got too old and the root system had started to die off. I wanted another lime but a dwarf variety. Have planted into a hole filled with compost and mycogold. Still a bit cold in Melbourne but looking forward to seeing the first new shoots

This is the Sublime patio Lime. Looks beautiful! have not had any fruit as of yet, over half the leaves dropped off over winter as it gets cold here even with sheltering the plant. But in spring it put on so much new growth it's lusher than ever.

Who doesn't like citrus? Trying to grow a variety of different citrus on my block for some Winter fruit.  Was in blossom upon receipt from Daleys but pruned all off to allow for stronger root and branch growth.
