lime tree plant
A lime tree plant is a delightful addition to any New Zealand garden, offering fragrant blossoms, lush green leaves, and zesty limes for culinary use. Whether you're looking to brighten your backyard, create a productive edible garden, or add architectural interest, a lime tree plant suits a wide variety of climates and gardening styles. Growing your own lime tree plant means enjoying homegrown limes for drinks, desserts, and savoury dishes, as well as benefiting from its compact size and evergreen beauty.
Lime Tahitian
The 'Tahitian' Lime is a popular and quick-growing shrub that bears masses of medium-sized fruit that are juicy, strongly scented, and have that typical lime flavour. They begin green in summer and ripen to pale yellow in winter. This heavy-cropping, evergreen typically grows to 3 m tall and the same wide, but can be trimmed as necessary. 'Tahitian' Limes are commonly included in a mixed planting or maintained either in a container or in a courtyard garden.

Tilia cordata
Tilia cordata, commonly known as the Small Leaved Lime, is grown for its lush foliage and great form. The medium sized, heart-shaped leaves emerge in spring with a fresh, lime-green colour, then develop golden tones in autumn before falling. The branching habit is uniform which gives it a tidy and structured appearance overall as it grows to 10 m tall and 5 m wide. Tilia cordata is commonly grown as a specimen, used for avenue plantings, or included in a mixed planting in a larger garden.
