Mediterranean Fruit Collection

Bring a taste of the Mediterranean to your patio with this generous collection of fruit trees. Citrus trees make fabulous patio plants, thriving outdoors in summer and enjoying a heated greenhouse or conservatory in winter. Green Figs are much hardier, and can be trained against a wall for a tasty crop of green figs. Height: up to 3m (9′). Spread: up to 4m (13′).

• Mediterranean Fruit Collection comprises:
• Tahiti Lime – The lovely seedless limes are produced in abundance and if left on the tree will eventually turn yellow.
• Orange ‘Calamondin’ – The small, juicy orange fruits have a bitter taste at first before leaving a delicious sweet flavour in your mouth.
• Lemon Tree – The fruits may take up to a year to ripen but are well worth the wait.
• Green Fig – Enjoy crops of sweet, juicy figs from August to September.

Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.

Information on limes
Despatched through autumn and winter you may notice that some of the fruit on your lime tree is actually showing yellow or orange. Rest assured you have received a lime and not an orange or lemon tree.
All limes varieties and species will change from bright green to yellow and orange as they become more ripe.
The limes that are bought in supermarkets are picked very immature to both retain the acidity, firmness and green colour. The flavour will also change with age and the yellow/orange fruits will be significantly sweeter than those that are picked bright green. In addition, limes are usually sold as quite a small round fruit as they are far from fully grown. The ripe fruits are much larger.
Rest assured, if you wish to pick green fruits, you will be able to do so next year when the fruits are at an earlier stage of ripeness.
