The round knobbly fruit, usually reaching 3.5-4 cm in diameter have a distinctive and recognisably citrus flavour, with a similar globular texture to the more commonly known Finger Lime. Also known as Dooja or Gympie lime. Occurs naturally on the fringe of lowland sub-tropical rainforests of southeast Qld, from Brisbane northwards. This slender tree can reach up to 15m in height and 6-8m in diameter with multiple trunks, making it the most vigorous of the native citrus. The round lime is suitable for including in cordials, sauces, marmalades and lime flavouring. The skin is very thick (up to 7mm) and has potential for culinary use, such as grating into spice pastes, or for candied peel and may also have potential for essential oil extraction.

Yellow Mangosteen

$40.95 ($24.00-$79.00 choose a size)

Yellow Mangosteen is a round fruit with very tart yellow segments. The high acidity makes it ideal for jams and jellies but removing the seed and skin can be time consuming. Easier to grow in the subtropics than the purple mangosteen, but the flavour is altogether different. The tree grows well in full sun and shade. It will tolerate and continue to fruit heavily in drought conditions. The tree is very attractive, with large drooping leaves and a layered form. The fruit can reach 8-10 cm in length and looks highly ornamental when in the tree. Pairs so well with a Miracle Fruit to reduce the acid flavour and bring out the interesting tropical flavours.

MANLY, NSW

Finger Lime - Wauchope

Could not find a Finger Lime plant in my area, so I was very happy to get one from Daley's. Delivered in a week and the plant was well packed and healthy. The plant dropped a few leaves at first (probably the quick drop in temperature), but it has recovered well and is flourishing now in Spring, with tiny flowers now appearing. Thank you!

These little babies have only been going since late 1013. These native finger limes don't grow true from seed and could be crossed with anything, there was a massive range of citrus varieties where they came from so fingers crossed I may have some excl...
