Growing Lime Sublime Successfully in NZ

Lime Sublime thrives in well-drained soil with full sun exposure. It suits NZ gardens including containers and courtyard settings. Regular watering during dry spells encourages fruiting. Protect young plants from frost for best results. This lime variety prefers slightly acidic soil and benefits from shelter against strong winds. Mulching in winter helps retain soil warmth and moisture, boosting health and fruit quality.

Lime Sublime Care Tips

Provide consistent watering, especially in summer, and mulch to retain moisture. Fertilise regularly with citrus fertiliser to promote healthy growth and fruit. Prune lightly after harvest to maintain shape and airflow. Watch for pests such as aphids or scale and treat early to prevent damage. Regularly check soil pH and adjust fertilisation accordingly to ensure nutrient availability.

Plant Size and Spacing

Lime Sublime grows to 1.5 metres tall and wide. Space plants at least 2 metres apart to allow airflow and fruit development. Container-grown plants can be pruned to stay compact. For orchard planting, spacing affects fruit yield and ease of maintenance. Good spacing reduces disease risk by improving air circulation and sunlight penetration. Plan for mature size when planting near structures or other plants.
