Fingerlimes are impatient and eager to fruit.The cutting grown Wauchope on the left was struck just a few months ago.I had trouble finding seeds as the varieties I was looking in the fruit of produce few seeds.I keep the inside 'caviar' in cups in the freezer and just spoon it out as needed.
Starling someone mailed me a couple of struck cuttings that I didn't ask for. The red champagne was an el cheapo from Masters for 6 bux. They were not something I have been laying awake at night thinking about. I sent a few seeds off to Brazil and China. Some were from you and some were from the supermarket.
Not 6 bob, $6-.
Can someone describe the taste of the fruit on fingerlimes?

http://www.onlinetrees.com.au/p/4075183/citrus-limon---lemonade.htmlLemonade are good alright and probably a lemon/meyer x mandarin. The best of all citrus might be promoting them beyond their station a bit.Fingerlimes seem to have more flavours going on than regular limes.
Starling, if you are a fan of Lemonade, you should purchase a citrus variety called the New Zealand Lemonade tree. The fruit eaten out of hand from the tree, taste like lemonade, thus the name. It is a vigorous variety, and produces fruit all year around, with its heaviest crop in the spring - Millet .
Your fingerlime trees look great! I have fingerlime seedlings growing. I noticed a strange growing habit they all have - they don't grow straight upwards, they curve over and downwards/sideways then start making side branches. Anyone else notice this with their fingerlime seedlings or am I doing something wrong with mine?I also have 2 seedlings of Australian Round Lime but both seedlings are trifoliate. I asked the supplier if he sent me trifoliate seeds by mistake but he says he doesn't have any trifoliate citrus on his property. I also bought fingerlime seeds from him which were genuine, so either I have a cool new hybrid or he isn't too knowledgeable and has mistaken a trifoliate citrus for the Australian Round Lime.
