Citrus Lime Tree in Rustic Bucket - Hardy Fruit Tree for Homegrown Limes

Citrus x aurantiifolia brings the familiar supermarket lime to a compact tree form, supplied at approximately 60–70cm in a rustic-style metal bucket. This citrus lime tree produces limes and suits a range of settings, from sunny patios and back gardens in summer to greenhouses, orangeries and bright indoor spaces during colder months.

Its relatively hardy nature makes it a practical choice among citrus varieties, while the flowers provide nectar for bees and beneficial insects. The combination of edible fruit and ornamental presentation also makes it a thoughtful gift where a fruiting plant is wanted.
