This plant was in near full sun, but is a cultivar selected for being super tough. In general they appreciate some shade when younger. Also, pretection from wind is best for fruiting as they get hammered by wind rub. Fert= organics lightly 4x per year and seaweed and fish emulsion every 2nd month.

Here are pics of the ones i'm now growing, from a mate's tree.

I love the looks of that fingerlime BMc!!  Does it have the berry like undertones in taste like the blood oranges do?  Oh how I wish we had the red ones here. I expect we will get those the 5th of never in the US lol.  Thsnks for sharing your photos :)

The Australian Finger lime seeds are sold on ebay fresh. May be a good option to start by seed.
Grow mainly fruits, vegetables, and herbs.
