Green Sapphire has a willowy habit with light coloured foliage that produces large green finger limes that bulge with juicy green citrus pearls. The fruit is produced in Autumn.

 The fruit contains an acid juice like that of a lime and has been rated by famous chefs as 'superior' to other limes. 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.
