Okitsu Satsuma / Tahitian Lime – Double

Description

• Okitsu is the “gold standard” of early-season mandarins are known for being incredibly sweet, seedless, and easy to peel, is a favourite for families and gourmet growers alike.
• Grafting the Okitsu onto Flying Dragon rootstock is a strategic masterstroke-it enhances the fruit’s natural sweetness while creating a tidy, “weeping” ornamental tree that looks beautiful even when it’s not in fruit.
• If you’re looking for the perfect “zipper-skin” mandarin that children (and chefs) adore, the Okitsu Satsuma is unrivalled. It is one of the earliest mandarins to ripen, often reaching peak sweetness while the skin is still slightly green. On Flying Dragon rootstock, this tree becomes a compact, heavy-bearing jewel for any patio or small garden.

Tahitian Lime also known as the Persian lime or Bearss lime, is prised for its large, seedless, and juicy fruit. It is a hybrid between a Key lime and a lemon, offering a less acidic, slightly sweeter flavour profile than the Key lime.

Its juice is a primary ingredient in cocktails like margaritas and mojitos, as well as limeade and sparkling drink It adds brightness to Mexican and Southeast Asian dishes, including guacamole, salsa, curries, and stir-fries. It also acts as a natural tenderiser for meats and seafood, such as in the classic dish ceviche.: The juice and zest are widely used in baked goods, cakes, and desserts, most famously in Tahitian lime pie.
