My beleaguered Finger Lime is finally flowering

I bought this finger lime as a seedling 9 years ago. I know my climate is not the best as any resultant fruit will suffer skin burn however I love the fruit so I persist. I have had a couple very tiny fruit from it but they were nothing to write about.

Like most of my prized trees and bushes I have them in pots so that I can move them around and so they don’t get waterlogged during the wet season.

The semi shaded area I have placed the finger lime this year seems to be very agreeable to it as the budding shows. My courtyard is a real hot spot so we have shade sails strung across it to cut the intense heat it attracts.
