Plant Description

The striking Citrus australasica cv BLACK, also known as the Black Finger Lime, is a rare and captivating cultivar of the Australian native finger lime. This unique citrus shrub is celebrated for its elongated, slender fruits, which range from deep maroon to almost black in skin coloration, creating a dramatic contrast against the glossy green foliage. When cut open, each fruit reveals shimmering caviar-like vesicles that vary from pale green to pinkish hues, offering a tangy, aromatic burst of flavor. Its textured bark and fine, thorny branches give it a wild, almost prehistoric aesthetic, while the tiny white flowers release a light citrus fragrance. This cultivar is particularly prized for its unusual fruit color, gourmet appeal, and compact size, making it suitable for both ornamental and culinary use. Native to the subtropical rainforests of eastern Australia, Citrus australasica cv BLACK thrives in warm, humid climates and is gaining global attention among rare fruit collectors and chefs alike for its decorative foliage, exotic fruit, and distinctive presence.
