(Citrus x latifolia/Tahitian Lime)

There is nothing like the fresh zingy taste of limes.

The Tahitian Lime is easy to grow, and looks fantastic with its lush green foliage and zesty green fruit.

The fruit of the Tahitian Lime is used in cooking or to add extra pizzazz to drinks.

Squeeze the juice on some BBQ prawns or grilled fish, for a slightly more delicate citrus burst.

Limes are rich in vitamin C, antioxidants and flavonoid compounds which help promote a strong immune system and have anti-cancer properties.


 

Since they are high in antioxidants, they enhance beauty by rejuvenating skin from within.

Place in a sunny spot, sheltered from strong winds. Water during the warmer months especially when the fruit is forming. Fertilize in Spring and Summer.
