Citrus latifolia Lime Courtyard
With many gardens now reduced in size our Courtyard Citrus range is perfect for small courtyards and balcony gardens where people want a fruiting shrub. Specifically grown for containers, the Lime Courtyard will bear an abundance of green to yellow fruit from mid-autumn to winter.
Cultural
Thrives in a warm, full sun position and adapts well to most soil types, provided there is good drainage. To prevent pest issues such as citrus scale, leaf miner, and gall wasp, monitor your plants closely and apply appropriate treatments if detected. Minimizing insect attacks is easier when you maintain ideal growing conditions. Fertilize in spring and late summer with a high-nitrogen fertilizer to support healthy growth. You can harvest the limes while they are still green or allow them to ripen to a vibrant yellow for a sweeter flavour.
Landscape Uses
A perfect choice for Aussie Mediterranean or edible gardens. Its compact habit makes it ideal for smaller spaces whilst having the benefit of abundant fruiting. Looks fantastic and combines well with our new compact Olea ‘Garden Harvest’ pbr, Laurus ‘Baby Bay’ pbr and Rosemary.
