Citrus australasica 'Pink Ice' (Pink Ice Finger Lime)

Citrus australasica 'Pink Ice' (Pink Ice Finger Lime) is a stunning cultivar of Australian native finger lime, prized for its unique pinkish-red flesh and distinctive flavour. This variety produces cylindrical, dark green to blackish fruits that, when opened, reveal vibrant pink to red pearl-like vesicles, creating a striking visual contrast. The flavour is a refreshing blend of citrus with subtle berry notes, making it exceptional for gourmet dishes, desserts, and beverages. The plant itself is a compact, thorny shrub with dense, dark green foliage.

Ideal for ornamental and culinary gardens, containers, and as a feature plant, 'Pink Ice' thrives in well-drained soil and full sun to partial shade. It is well-adapted to subtropical and warm temperate regions and, once established, exhibits good drought tolerance. This finger lime is particularly valued for its unique pink caviar, exotic flavour, and visual appeal in both the garden and the kitchen.
