Judy’s Everbearing is a prolific cultivar, producing a plentiful crop of finger limes from summer to autumn and may produce fruits sporadically throughout the year. The fruits are a rich, dark green colour, and the pearls inside vary in colour depending on climatic conditions. This cultivar likes similar conditions to the classic finger lime, which comes from rainforest understory, so it will do well in in a warm, sheltered location with dappled light, however for best results and yield, full sun is ideal. Use the fruits as for other finger limes, with seafood, in drinks, or any way you would use lemon and lime.
