A Finger Lime Tree 'Caviar Rose' is a cultivar of Australian finger lime (Citrus australasica) prized for its pearls of pink-tinted, tangy juice. The tree produces aromatic flowers that later yield finger-shaped fruits filled with what is known as "lime caviar" or "citrus pearls". 

 

About the tree and fruit

  • Unique fruit: The elongated, dark green to purplish fruits contain translucent, pinkish-colored juice vesicles that burst with a zesty, lime-like flavor.
  • Ornamental and edible: The tree is valued for both its decorative qualities and its fruit, which is popular with chefs for garnishing seafood, salads, and cocktails.
  • Growth habit: It is a semi-dwarf citrus tree that can be grown as a shrub or a container plant. When grown in a container, it will stay a more manageable size but still produce full-sized fruit.
  • Growing conditions:
    • Finger lime trees prefer full sun or partial shade.
    • They thrive in well-draining, humus-rich soil.
    • In cooler climates, they can be grown indoors in a conservatory or on a bright windowsill.
    • They are sensitive to cold and need to be protected from freezing temperatures.
  • Self-pollinating: The tree is self-fertile, meaning it can produce fruit on its own without needing another finger lime variety for pollination.
