Has beautiful red fruit with pink tinged flesh inside. Being a cross between a finger lime and a Burmese Rangpur Lime, it is very juicy with the juice throughout the fruit as well as inside the pearls. Grafted on dwarf rootstock.

 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.
