It is the largest variety in the country, both in overall size and in the size of its caviar-like vesicles. When fully ripe, its flesh turns a soft pink, and if left to ripen further, it develops into a dark pink or red. This variety has a milder floral note compared to other finger lime varieties. One of its standout features is its impressive shelf life; when picked at peak ripeness and left at room temperature for several days or even weeks, the pink vesicles become even denser. The fruit is almost seedless, and the tree itself is notably more cold-hardy than other finger lime types, making it an excellent choice for diverse growing conditions. Its larger size and minimal seeds make it particularly suitable for culinary applications.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMost of our grafted trees will start to produce flowers and fruit in their first spring, and some of the trees have already flowered.
