Green Crystal is a sought-after variety thanks to its large fruit size and regular fruit set. The pearls are clear, larger than other varieties, and are as acidic as the ordinary lime only with a stronger aroma.
The tree is of medium size, bushy, and with a denser canopy compared to its counterparts.

Pink Ice is a great choice if you're looking to merchandise and make a few bucks. Large-sized fruits, regular fruit sets, and more colour in cooler climates are what Pink Ice variety brings to the table.
It's mildly tart with a grapefruit aftertaste, a perfect choice for cocktails and clear alcoholic drinks such as gin. Pro-tip, garnish our passion fruit River Mint Mojito with a Pink Ice wheel, and thank me later!
Pink Ice is a medium-sized tree with a comparatively open canopy.

Byron Sunrise is a colorful variety. It's among our most popular varieties giving Rainforest Pearl a run for its money.
Lemon-y and with low acidity, Byron Sunrise makes an exceptional garnish. Don't be fooled by the relatively small-sized tree because the one yields lots of fruit.

Rainforest Pearl - The legendary, and the most sought-after variety. It has the longest shelf life of all varieties, with mild and subtle taste - qualities that make it versatile and easily enjoyed straight from the tree.
It's a medium-sized tree, well developed, and with a dense canopy. In cooler climates, it brings out more colour. Not only does it have a regular fruit set but also prolonged fruiting season but with small fruit during Winter.

Green Sapphire - A grafted tree that can tolerate more challenging condition than regular citrus. Very low maintenance and highly rewarding plant to have in the garden. The fruits are large and plump green finger limes, with abundant pearls of juice inside and are produced in autumn.
