Red Finger Lime Tree — Grafted UF KB-8, ½-Gallon Pot

Grow a remarkable citrus tree known for its jewel-like fruit! The Red Finger Lime (Microcitrus australasica), often called citrus caviar, produces elongated citrus fruits filled with small, juicy pearls. When the pearls burst in your mouth, they release a bright citrus flavor that adds a distinctive touch to seafood, sushi, salads, desserts, cocktails, and homemade preserves.

This listing features the UF KB-8 finger lime variety. Finger lime fruit and pulp colors can vary by cultivar and growing conditions, so the exact shade of future fruit cannot be guaranteed.

Plant Care Guide

Sunlight: Provide a sunny location with several hours of direct sunlight daily. Acclimate the plant gradually if moving it from a shaded growing area into stronger sun.

Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist during active growth, but never waterlogged. Water thoroughly when the surface begins to dry, and make sure excess water can drain away. Young potted trees may need more frequent watering in hot weather.

Soil: Use a fertile, well-draining citrus potting mix. A slightly acidic to neutral soil pH is generally suitable. Avoid compacted soil that holds excess water around the roots.

Fertilizer: Feed with a citrus fertilizer according to the product label and the plant's growth stage. Regular, moderate feeding during active growth helps support healthy foliage and development. Avoid excessive fertilizer.

Mulch: For outdoor plants, a light layer of organic mulch can help conserve moisture. Keep mulch away from the trunk to reduce the risk of rot.

Temperature: Finger limes are suited to warm subtropical and tropical conditions. Protect young plants from frost and prolonged cold. Container plants can be moved to a protected location when needed.

Pruning: Remove dead or damaged growth and prune as needed to maintain the tree's shape. Take care around thorns, which may be present on finger lime branches.

Container growing: This young tree is supplied in a half-gallon pot and may need repotting as it grows. Choose a larger container with good drainage when the roots outgrow the current pot.

Flowering and Fruiting

Grafted trees can sometimes flower and fruit earlier than seed-grown trees, but fruit production is not guaranteed in a particular season. Flowering and harvest depend on plant maturity, climate, sunlight, pollination, and care.
