Citrus Limequat
This is a lime for the cooler parts of the country. It is an attractive, evergreen shrub that grows to about 3metres. It is a cross between a lime and a Kumquat. Likes a well drained soil with a good addition of compost. Will do well in a container or plant as a specimen, espalier or as a hedge.
All these plants can be obtained from garden centres. Incredible Edibles is a New Zealand nursery company which specialises in supplying the home gardener with exciting new edible plants.
