More About Lime Trees

Choosing The Right Citrus Lime Tree For Your Garden

Our range focuses on fruiting citrus lime trees, with glossy evergreen foliage, highly scented white flowers and delicious fruit you can pick yourself.

If you love classic kitchen flavour, traditional lime varieties are ideal for drinks, desserts and savoury dishes. For something more unusual, finger and caviar types produce distinctive fruits filled with tiny citrus pearls that chefs prize for their punchy flavour and texture.

Citrus lime trees grow beautifully in containers, which makes them perfect for UK gardeners. Keeping them in pots allows you to move them into a sheltered position as temperatures drop. Try grouping them with lemon and orange trees to create your own productive citrus collection with real visual impact.

When selecting your tree, think sun first. Citrus limes thrive in a bright, sheltered, south-facing position through spring and summer. The more sun they receive, the stronger the growth and fruiting.

Growing And Caring For Citrus Lime Trees In The UK

Citrus lime trees prefer free-draining compost and consistent watering while in active growth. Through spring and summer, regular feeding with a specialist citrus fertiliser helps maintain rich green foliage and encourages flowering and fruit set.

These trees are frost sensitive, so from autumn through to spring, move containers to a cool greenhouse, bright conservatory or sheltered porch where they are protected from prolonged frost. Pruning is simple. Light trimming after fruiting helps maintain shape and encourages fresh growth. With good light, steady feeding and winter protection, citrus lime trees reward you year after year.
