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

Citrus Lime Tree (60-70cm) in Metal Bucket

Dreaming of freshly squeezed, zesty limes all summer long? Our Citrus Lime Tree offers the wonderful opportunity to grow your very own supply of this popular citrus fruit right in your back garden. The Citrus x aurantiifolia is the familiar 'supermarket lime' you know and love. This particular variety is surprisingly hardy, capable of withstanding cooler temperatures compared to many other citrus plants.

Caring for your Citrus Lime Tree is rewarding. While citrus plants flourish outdoors in full sunlight, they can also be grown indoors in pots, with greenhouses or orangeries being ideal. Given the unpredictable British climate, if you choose to grow your lime tree outdoors, it will need protection during frosty periods.
