Lime – Tahiti
Lime Tahiti Grow your own zesty limes on the patio! Do you like lime in your gin and tonic? or fancy making your own key lime pie? Why not try the delicious taste and awarding process of using your own homegrown produce. The Lime ‘Tahiti’ produces bright green, zesty fruits throughout the year which are juicy and delicious. It also makes an attractive feature on the patio or wherever you choose to grow, with small clusters of white flowers blossoming too. Against the glossy dark green foliage, these are stunning in themself but also produce a delightful fragrance. The seedless lime fruits grow in abundance but can take up to a year to ripen. However, their taste is worthwhile and provide quality. If you miss the chance to pick your limes when perfectly ripe they will eventually turn yellow on the tree. Once harvested, Limes will keep for up to 2 weeks. Lime trees are capable of surviving brief periods below 0C, but for the best result, grow in a large container and move indoors to a bright frost free position from autumn to spring. You don’t need to worry about a pollination companion, because this tree is self fertile. Propagated onto ‘PS’ rootstock and supplied as a large specimen bush (often in fruit) in a 5 litre pot. Height: 250cm (78). Spread: 150cm (59).
