Would you like that extra zing in your salad? This attractive tree has dark, glossy leaves and will provide fresh fruit over a long season. Tahitian or Key limes are easy to grow in a sunny aspect and should be sheltered from strong wind. Either plant in a tub or in the garden. Limes are loaded with Vitamin C and are perfect for use in salad dressings, marinades, with seafood or sliced in a Gin and Tonic.
They can be used as a mixer for drinks, in dressings and as a garnish due to their seedless flesh and because they’re very juicy but not intensely fragrant. Tip: Before using limes, place them in hot water for a few minutes to assist in the release of oil from the skin making them more fragrant.
This plant comes in gift box and includes a gift card personalised with your message.

We aim to deliver orders received by 10am (Monday to Thursday) to main North Island centres within 2 working
days. Please note; if an order is placed after 10am on Thursday it will not be dispatched until Monday as we
don't want plants sitting in the courier depots over the weekend. Add 2-3 days for rural deliveries and outlying
towns, as the courier may not deliver daily.
