With more than thirty varieties, OZ Finger Lime nursery has the greatest range of finger limes in the world at this stage. Several of these varieties are unique to our catalogue (orders and pricing details at the bottom of the page).
The Nursery is located in Melbourne’s inner suburb of Glenroy, and we are open to all customers including retail and wholesale with thousands of plants on site.
The team at OZ Finger Lime is passionate and dedicated to produce the best quality stock on the market. We work tirelessly to source cleanest possible grafting material which provides the best opportunity for long and healthy life of our plants. Our stock is produced using low chemical approach. As testament to high quality, we have been exporting plants to Europe and Japan passing the stringent biosecurity requirements without difficulty.
Rootstocks are grown from certified virus free seeds sourced from Auscitrus, a top citrus seed and scion wood supplier. The scion wood was originally sourced from tissue cultured material and now from mature fruiting trees in our orchard. Using mature trees ensures that our grafts will flower or fruit in the second or third year of life and that they are true to type.
We produce limited number of plants with emphasis on quality rather than quantity. Intensive breeding program is our main focus for the future, with new finger lime hybrids being produced almost every year.
The harsh climate of the Northeast Victoria where our orchard is located, have taught us a great deal of how finger limes perform in extreme conditions where temperatures range from -7°C in winter to +45°C in summer. This massive experiment was written about in the Asiafruit. Knowledge and experience gained have become unique tools for expansion of finger lime plantings outside subtropical climate in many countries.
