One of the first commercially available finger limes on the market. A very slender tree with a mild acidity level fruit. The pearls inside are a pale green colour.

 Used in chutneys, jams, marmalades, savoury sauces and refreshing drinks. In great demand for culinary use as it displays well as a garnish. The fruits can also be frozen successfully without destroying the fruits flavour or texture on thawing, thus allowing us to have access to the fruits all year round. They also grow well in pots if you require a more compact tree.
