« on: July 24, 2021, 08:13:35 AM »You should ask the property owner to let you get a sucker and try growing it out.It would be great, but that's in the river. It's public and it's the municipality that is responsible for the river use... and i can't go there, just swimming or by boat.

Citrus General Discussion / Re: uses for Finger limes?
« on: July 24, 2021, 02:36:23 AM »Can anybody suggest some good uses for these? I have a handful of ripe ones but aside from the novelty I haven't found a good use where they clearly outshine regular lime juice. So far they are good in fruit sherbert/ice cream. I'm going to try in guacamole too.Hi! fingerlimes are very very versatile. You can use them on almost everything! There are many recipes online...
If they are resigned to the pure novelty bucket that is fine, I'll just keep mine pruned small.
Just some to have an idea...

« on: July 24, 2021, 02:03:28 AM »Wow! Never would have expected that. Maybe it’s that hardy musa that can take very cold temperatures? Don’t know if people grow that there though.Yes, this is all so strange and exciting... and having them growing them over the rocks and not on the river bed it's amazing!

This is a very hardy area more than mine... it's so incredible to have a musa colony self stablished in a portuguese river! I'm stoned! No one planted them! Of course they excaped some garden, some one trow them away and water river transport them to this location. This is really incredible... i have to talk with local authorities to protect them!

Yes I'm not expecting the fruit hold because the tree is small and its the first time. But it's good to see her fruiting so fast

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Is there any place in Europe where cocoa can be grown outdoor ?
« on: May 07, 2021, 12:08:44 PM »Hmmm ... I don't know if it's true. There is a pineapple plantation on the island São Miguel (under glass) because it's just too cold there.Of course it's true. You have diferent micro-climates in same island. The only cofee plantation in Europe is in Azores.

Dry? No. There are some places more dry but not in general. The best places are on south coasts and low/protected areas.
