Recently the most popular plant for home gardeners in Japan is the lime caviar. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citrus_australasica, I have already ordered mine. Check it out.

I saw one of those at my local nursery that had a good amount of fruit on it, I was tempted to get it but they are very thorny and I decided not to get it. Good luck with yours.... Bear

Already have a big one. Those fruits sell for a lot of money in France.

I've wanted one for some time; I haven't seen any plants available near me--yet.

the small plant produced many fruits before it died
likely cause: underwatering

FYI: Just fruits and exotics AUSTRALIAN FINGER LIMEĀ*TREE | Just Fruits and Exotics (http://www.justfruitsandexotics.com/JFE/product/australian-finger-lime-2/?) has this tree - if you live in Florida. The tree is $59.99 for a 5 foot tree in a 3 gallon pot - shipping extra. I do not have any experience with this nursery.
