Tracey2's Edible Backyard

Lime - Tahitian (Grafted) ^10/10

Comments: -

It is our first home grown fruit that we have actually sold to the local Fruit and Veg shop! A magical tree that produces thousands of fruit - with only mulching and pruning. Wallabies chew on the tips (we have fenced the trunk to keep it safe), brush turkeys suck at the old fallen fruit, and all visitors leave with a bag to take home - delicious.

Favourite uses include lime butter (with own chook eggs), lime meringue pie, and jugs of lime and tonic (occasionally with Gin!).
