Finger Limes - amazing native citrus

It has fragrant white flowers and small cylindrical citrus-like fruits that can vary in colour from lime green to yellow to champagne pink to purple when ripe. These delightful fruits contain individual vesicles like caviar that burst in your mouth with the fresh rejuvenating flavour of the rainforest.
