It produces finger-sized fruits filled with tiny citrus bursts, blending lime and grapefruit flavors. Self-fertile and compact (1-1.5m tall), it thrives in full shade and summer-autumn bloom periods, while naturally attracting pollinators to enhance your garden's vitality. ## Description Origin: Australasia. The Latin name 'Citrus australasica' gives away the origins of this, one of a group of citrus plants native only to Australiasia and now being increasingly marketed down under as 'gourmet bush tucker'. Also known as the caviar lime, the finger sized fruits break open to release tiny citrus bombs that burst on the tongue. Rarely found in this country as fruit and even more rarely found as plants, with a flavour somewhere between a lime and a grapefruit, finger limes are increasingly being talked about in U.S. foodies circles as the new food delicacy. Protect from frost. Mature height 1-1.5m (3'3"-5'). Self-fertile. Supplied in a 3 litre pot. ## Features - Attracts Pollinators ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0761VHRFL | | Best Sellers Rank | 184,775 in Garden ( See Top 100 in Garden ) 724 in Outdoor Fruit Plants | | Brand Name | SUTTONS EST. 1806 | | Country Of Origin | United Kingdom | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (7) | | Expected Plant Height Unit | 1.5 Metres | | Indoor Outdoor Usage | Outdoor | | Manufacturer | Suttons Seeds | | Material Features | Natural | | Number of Pieces | 1 | | Other Special Features of the Product | Attracts Pollinators | | Plant or Animal Product Type | Fruit | | Sunlight Exposure | Full Shade | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | | expected blooming period | Summer to Autumn | ## Product Details - **Brand:** SUTTONS EST. 1806 - **Expected blooming period:** Summer to Autumn - **Expected plant height:** 1.5 Metres - **Indoor/Outdoor usage:** Outdoor - **Material feature:** Natural - **Number of pieces:** 1 - **Special feature:** Attracts Pollinators - **Sunlight exposure:** Full Shade - **Unit count:** 1.0 count ## Images ![Lime Plant - Caviar Lime - Citrus australasica - Citrus Plant Tree - Fruit Plant in A 3-Litre Nursery PotBy Suttons - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61p78jXwp3L.jpg) ## Frequently Bought Together - Lime Plant - Caviar Lime - Citrus australasica - Citrus Plant Tree - Fruit Plant in A 3-Litre Nursery PotBy Suttons - YouGarden Citrus Mandarin Fruit Tree in 4 Litre Pot, Supplied 80cm Tall, Exotic Orange Tree for UK Gardens, Perfect for Pots, Patios and Garden, Grow Your Own Fruit - Thompson & Morgan Potted Mini Fruit Tree Plum, Perfect for Small Gardens & Patios, Heavy Cropping, Tasty Edible Fruit in Summer, Easy to Grow, 1 x Prunus (Plum) Black Amber Plant in a 9cm Pot --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/48742760-lime-plant-caviar-lime-citrus-australasica-citrus-plant-tree-fruit](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/48742760-lime-plant-caviar-lime-citrus-australasica-citrus-plant-tree-fruit) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-10-03*
