Compact citrus tree producing fragrant blossoms and small green limes, bringing fresh flavour, fragrance and Mediterranean charm to patios and sheltered garden spaces.

The Mini Green Lime is an attractive evergreen citrus tree grown for its glossy foliage, fragrant white blossoms and small tangy fruits. Its compact habit makes it ideal for containers, patios and conservatories where it can produce decorative flowers followed by bright green limes that can be used for drinks, cooking and desserts. The shiny dark green leaves provide year-round interest, while the aromatic blossoms add a refreshing citrus fragrance in spring and summer. Mature plants typically reach 1–1.5 metres tall when grown in containers, making them perfect for small gardens and sunny outdoor spaces.

Supplied as a healthy, well-established plant 40–50cm tall in a 15cm rootball, this citrus tree is garden-ready and prepared for steady growth. Professionally grown in peat-free compost at our UK nursery in Yorkshire and delivered in plastic-free packaging, it offers a sustainable way to enjoy homegrown citrus and decorative evergreen structure.
