It is presumed that this variety of Lime named ‘Pursha’ is a hybrid of Citrus limetta and Citrus sinensis or alternatively Citrus myrtifolia. ‘Pursha’ is a very popular ornamental variety: it is robust and easy-care, grows very compact and - similar to Kumquat- naturally with a round habit. Even in high age the crown of the plant remains small, making it very suitable for beeing permanently planted in a planter. The elongated leaves can be easily recognised at their distinct tip. The flowers are medium-sized (2-2.5 cm), white and intensely fragrant. The main bloom is usually during springtime, however, flowers may also occur during the whole summer until winter. The fruits of ‘Pursha’ are flat- round like mandarines and grow every year very numerous. Due to the long flowering time, fruits of various ripeness decorate the plant. The fruit have a pleasingly sour juice and can be easily peeled.
