Citrus australasica ‘Rosebank BPL’ | Australian Finger Lime

Citrus australasica ‘Rosebank BPL’ is an Australian native finger lime selection producing long, slender fruit with brown skin. Inside, juicy citrus pearls can range from pink to crimson, or yellow-green to pale pink. The pearls burst in the mouth with a tart citrus zing and a hint of sweetness, wonderful with seafood, dressings, drinks, desserts and cocktails.

Glossy green foliage, a naturally bushy habit and sharp spines along the branches make finger limes an interesting addition to the home orchard or a feature shrub in a large pot. Allow room for access when harvesting.

Choose a warm, sunny to partly shaded position in fertile, well-drained soil, sheltered from strong winds. Water consistently while establishing and during fruit development, without allowing the soil to become waterlogged.

General finger lime size guide: approximately 2–4m high and 1.5–2.5m wide, depending on growing conditions and pruning. These dimensions are a general guide, not a verified mature size for the ‘Rosebank BPL’ selection.

These plants have tolerated frost at Navigators Nursery near Ballarat. Young plants may still benefit from protection during severe frosts, and a sheltered position is recommended in exposed cold-climate gardens.
