Judy Everbearing Fingerlime
Botanical name: Citrus australasica
Also known as: Australian Caviar Lime, Judy Fingerlime
Judy Everbearing is a uniquely productive fingerlime variety selected for its near year-round fruiting. Unlike seasonal fingerlimes, Judy can produce multiple crops throughout the year, making it one of the most useful and rewarding Australian native edibles. The finger-sized fruits are packed with tangy, crisp citrus pearls—perfect for seafood, desserts, or just popping in your mouth straight off the tree.

Judy prefers a sunny spot with protection from harsh afternoon sun or frost. Grow it in fertile, free-draining soil or a large pot with a native plant mix. Light pruning after harvest helps shape it and boost productivity. Native bees and small pollinators love the flowers.
With its consistent fruiting, compact size, and striking pearl-like flesh, Judy Everbearing is a premium choice for chefs, collectors, and anyone wanting a high-yielding native citrus.
