We have 13 citrus trees and enjoy sharing all of the fruit with friends and neighbors, there is no way one family can eat them all. Our favorite novelty citrus is the finger lime! They are so much fun to eat fresh from the garden, just bite the tip off and all of the little caviar shaped fruit can be squeezed out to eat as a snack. They are also great to use as a garnish for fish tacos, or anything you would normally use lime juice on.

I’m growing a lemon tree in my kitchen/conservatory in Northern Ireland,for three years and it gives all year round lemons! Visitors are very impressed. It does have a fine web so must keep an eye on that.

If learning felt like this in school, I’d have perfect attendance.
