Canistel - Grey

$79.00

Their flowers are formed on their branches, a feature called cauliflory, enabling them to be pruned to keep them small. They tolerate the subtropics quite well.

Canistel Aurea

Aurea produces a large elongated fruit of excellent quality. The fruit is delicious eaten fresh or with a little salt and lemon juice added. Canistels are often added to sweet custards or made into delicious eggnog-like milk shakes.

Fingerlime - Rosebank Purple

I'm looking forward to it flourishing. Unfortunately the one I had tried before carked it - location was too shady and boggy, they rock-hard dry. My fault, not the plants. I'm hopeful this one stands a much better chance.
