Rainforest Pearl is a compact, evergreen finger lime with deep green, rounded foliage, thorny stems and a graceful, slightly weeping habit. Delicate white flowers tinged with pink appear in summer, followed by aromatic, finger-shaped fruit with attractive green to reddish skin. The fruit begins to ripen on the tree and reaches its full flavour after being picked and left for 5–10 days. Inside, each fruit is packed with tangy citrus pearls that burst with refreshing flavour, making them perfect for seafood, Asian-inspired dishes, desserts and cocktails. Well-suited to small gardens or containers, the dwarf Rainforest Pearl can be lightly pruned to maintain its shape. Trees typically begin producing fruit from the second autumn after planting, rewarding gardeners with a unique and delicious harvest. Soil: Plant in composted, well-draining soil.
