LEMON CAVIAR "Citrus faustrime" (Finger Lime) WHITE PULP - 9AG18-

A plant native to Australia, called Finger Lime in its native region due to the distinctive shape of its fruit, which resembles fingers. In Italy, it is known as Caviar Lemon, a reference to the fruit, which, once opened, resembles caviar. The plant reaches very variable heights, from 2 to 6 meters. The fruit is about 6/7 cm long and about 2 cm in diameter. Inside, it contains a pulp composed of juicy "vesicles" that resemble caviar. Precisely for this reason and for its delicious flavor, this fruit is highly sought after by chefs as a garnish. Citrus faustrime differs from Citrus australasica due to its more rounded fruit shape and greater reflowering and hardiness.

Citrus trees are self-fertile plants, although the presence of another variety (same genus and species) increases fruit set (i.e., the transformation of flowers into fruit).
