Finger Lime ‘Pink Ice’

Citrus australasica

Finger Lime ‘Pink Ice’ is an evergreen tree with small rounded deep green foliage with stems which bare thorns. Pale white-pink flowers appear in late Summer and autumn, followed by elongated green-burgundy fruits with soft pink pearl-like flesh. Native Lime fruit will begin to ripen, but not entirely on the tree, throughout the Winter season and early Spring. Once picked leave for 5-10 days as the fruit will then fully ripen. The pulp of the Finger Lime ‘Pink Ice’  is a soft pink with an intensely sweet flavour with a tanginess.

Highly sought after by restaurants, this native bushfood is a must for any keen gardener.
