Title: Variegated 'Red Champagne' Finger lime
Post by: stephanos_petrou on June 04, 2019, 02:43:33 PM

Hi guys, i have recently stumbled upon a russian website selling variegated finger limes. Has any of you seen or own such a plant. I think they look really nice. I wonder if the pulp inside the fruit is any different from other finger limes.

Flesh pink caviar. Thin stems - it is difficult to propagate. Grow slowly

Nah they are easy to graft. Just give them a little time to get some size & the budwood will fatten up.
