Lime (Citrus Fruit)

Citrus trees are great for patios and conservatories. With maturity, this potted Lime will produce bright green, spicy fruits. The exquisite clusters of tiny white flowers fill the air with their wonderful aroma, set against a foil of glossy, black leaves. The following fruits can take up to a year to ripen, but they are well worth the wait. Limes can be stored for up to two weeks after being collected. Lime trees can withstand temperatures below 0°C for short periods of time, but they do best when kept in containers and brought indoors to a sunny, frost-free location from autumn to spring. Ultimate height and spread: Up to 4.5m (14?).
