Growing Finger Limes in the UK! Pink Caviar Lime & More! - Mar 2025

Описание: I now have four finger limes growing in my UK garden!
Newest Addition: The Pink Caviar Lime (bought 3/3/2025). Its juicy pearls turn from dark green to pink when ripe, with a grapefruit-lime flavor. Hardy down to -5°C, it thrives outdoors most of the year but needs winter protection. Plus, it's self-fertile—no pollination worries!
Oldest Plant: The Purple Finger Lime (bought 5/8/2022). Planted near my house wall and heating flue, it overwintered without cover—a true survivor!
Red Centre Lime: A unique finger lime-mandarin hybrid with red flesh and caviar-like texture. Bought in Nov 2024, it's growing in my temperature-controlled Orangery (4-5°C min). It loves heat but needs protection from frost.
Mystery Finger Lime: Bought 15/3/2023, this unknown variety closely resembles my Purple Finger Lime. It overwintered successfully in my unheated citrus grow tent.
Can’t wait to see how these thrive! Stay tuned for updates! #FingerLime #CaviarLime #UKGardening #ExoticFruits #Homegrown #RareFruit #GardeningLife #EdibleGarden #CitrusLover #FruitGrowing
