Wow, your finger lime tree looks really healthy, Joe! I really love the colour of the new growth, it contrasts nicely against the green leaves. I still need to get myself a finger lime tree, it's on my list haha 😂
Nice to see it flowering already Joe. I would say when you did the close ups that the mottled leaves suggest that it either has had or still has a bad spider mite infestation. If it has and you don't deal with them now its unlikely to hold any fruits to maturity as they will seriously weaken the plant over Summer 😱
Thanks Brett. Yes, when i first got the tree it had the spider mite issue. Thankfully that has been sorted and the plant is bouncing back with new growth and flowers. No evidence of webbing. But I will obviously continue to inspect the plant and mist in the mornings (when I remember too) 😂
I really want one but seems like no one has stock of plants like these anymore when just a few years ago you could get all sorts easily online (wonder if it’s related to brexit ?)

Thanks Peter, it’s loving the warmer weather we’re having. Yep! Absolutely love the foliage. Go get yourself one 😃
Actually, citrus benefits from phosphorus during flowering fruit.
Bone meal is an excellent source of phosphorus.
Thank you for your input. As soon as I read your comment, I did further research and then fertilised with bone meal 😃
Happy healthy fingerlime!
Hopefully I can keep it that way 😂 I think the key is not fussing over them to much, and just let them do their thing!

Nice video Joe, everything is looking great!
Everything is looking fantastic mate and your finger lime looks better than both of mine in Australia. Well done
Thanks a lot Matey. Looking good for the summer, the trick is keeping it healthy over the winter months 😂
I got one past month. How old is your plant?
You have excellent growth. Good luck for your first harvest of them✨
