Variegated Mosambi (graft)

Variegated Mosambi (Citrus limetta ‘Variegata’)

The Variegated Mosambi, also known as Variegated Sweet Lime, is a rare and eye-catching citrus variety known for both its ornamental foliage and delicious, mildly sweet fruit. The tree bears striking green-and-cream variegated leaves that add vibrant texture and color to gardens and patios. Its fruits are round to oval, with a green-striped outer skin when unripe, maturing into a yellow-green tone while retaining variegated patterns.

The pulp is juicy, pale green to yellow, and has a low-acid, mildly sweet flavor—perfect for refreshing juices, detox drinks, and as a gentle citrus base for culinary use. Unlike lemons, it has a smoother taste with little tang, making it suitable for those who prefer subtle citrus notes.

The plant grows well in tropical to subtropical climates, thrives in full sunlight, and is perfect for container gardening or small home orchards. It’s both a fruiting and ornamental plant, combining beauty and utility in one stunning package.
