The fruit has a long shelf life lasting many weeks in the fridge. The bushes will grow to be a dense screen so may be used in urban areas for privacy. Small Birds will happily find shelter amongst the protective prickly stems and branches. An excellent selection for gourmet gardens.

Compact shrub like tree but a bit thorny. It is quite ornamental with interesting fruit. Beautiful colour of vesicles in a fluorescent lime green. I think I prefer the taste of regular lime though.
