(Microcitrus australasia)

A slow-growing, thorny, evergreen tree-like shrub or small tree to 8-10 feet in height with a narrower spread; easily kept to 4-6 feet.

Grows in a very dense, twiggy habit with tiny, glossy green foliage closely set along thin, rather whippy stems.

Small, pink to white, fragrant flowers are scattered along the branches; typically flowers in spring and bears in late fall to early winter, but it tends to flower and have some fruit all year.

Produces small, gherkin-like fruit composed of four skinny segments wrapped in a thin, dark maroon, aromatic, leathery skin; ages to reddish-brown/black when ripe. When the fruit is sliced in half, the round, juicey pearls (vesicles) can be gently squeezed or shaken out of the fruit, like citrus caviar.

The Finger lime’s flavor is fresh, tart, lemon-lime and the texture is crunchy and juicy.
