Notes

'Byron Sunrise' finger lime (Citrus australasica 'Byron Sunrise') is a small tree for a food garden. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 9 and warmer, down to about 20°F (-7°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes full sun. Its fragrant white flowers open in early to late summer. The long fruit hold red lime caviar and taste lemony, so it is grown for garnishes, desserts, and marmalades.

Pairs well with Olive, Hass avocado, Mexican heather, and Lemon grass.
