Origin: Japan. Like a complex citrus cocktail of mandarin, grapefruit and lemon, but much softer on the palate than a lemon, the Yuzu is fast becoming the darling of UK chefs who are using it in dressings and drizzles over seafood. Popular in Asian cuisine, with three times the vitamin C of a lemon it is as good for you as it is a new flavour sensation. In Japan, the juice is also added to hot baths and thought to be good for the skin! Mature height 1-1.5m (33-5). Self-fertile. Supplied in a 3 litre pot.
Origin: Australasia. The Latin name Citrus australasica gives away the origins of this, one of a group of citrus plants native only to Australiasia and now being increasingly marketed down under as gourmet bush tucker. Also known as the caviar lime, the finger sized fruits break open to release tiny citrus bombs that burst on the tongue. Rarely found in this country as fruit and even more rarely found as plants, with a flavour somewhere between a lime and a grapefruit, finger limes are increasingly being talked about in U.S. foodies circles as the new food delicacy. Protect from frost. Mature height 1-1.5m (33-5). Self-fertile. Supplied in a 3 litre pot.
