Finger limes prefer free-draining soil and regular watering in hot weather. They enjoy a bit of afternoon shade in hotter areas. Protect from frost and strong wind when young. Grafted plants fruit faster and more reliably.

Little Ruby™ is ideal for growers wanting a striking, reliable and space-efficient native lime. Grown right, it produces heavily and adds colour to both your plate and garden.
