The Finger Lime
Meet the Finger Lime, a fruit native to south east Queensland. It grows on a spiky bush and is also known as ‘vegetarian caviar’.
My favourite after-lunch snack to have while wandering around the farm.

That looks amazing! Where do you buy the seeds from?

Daley’s Fruit Tree Nursery (http://www.daleysfruit.com.au/) sells the trees, or if you’re in Brisbane you can buy them from the nursery at Northey St City Farm.

I was just about to ask the same question on where you can get these trees, thanks for the supply details, I’ve never seen them before.

good day i’m looking for caviar limes can you help me?

Lori, I’d hazard a guess that finger limes as the same as caviar limes, I’m sure I’ve heard them called by that name before.

Hi I planted a finger lime in a pot about 6 months ago and it hasn’t really done anything. It’s still green but the growth is incredibly slow. We’re on the Sunshine Coast. What sort of location have you planted your finger lime in, and how have you fertilised it? Are you getting a good yield?
Thanks.
