5L Lime Tree 80/90cm

Bring the refreshing taste and vibrant energy of homegrown citrus to your garden with our 5L Lime Tree. Standing at an impressive 80 to 90cm tall, this hardy citrus tree (Citrus x aurantiifolia) features glossy green foliage, fragrant white blossoms, and the potential to produce fresh, zesty limes right at home. Its elegant structure and year round evergreen beauty make it a standout feature for patios, conservatories, and sunny outdoor spaces.

Caring for your Lime Tree is deeply rewarding. While it flourishes outdoors in full sunlight during the warmer months, it can easily be brought indoors or into a greenhouse during frostier UK winter periods. Available with a selection of decorative planters, this versatile fruiting tree brings a splash of Mediterranean luxury to any setting.

Position your Lime Tree in a warm, sunny location that receives maximum direct sunlight each day.

Feed monthly with a specialist citrus fertilizer throughout the growing season, and move the tree to a frost free indoor spot or greenhouse before temperatures drop below freezing.
