Red Finger Lime
« on: December 26, 2016, 02:56:54 PM »
Logees has a special on Red Finger Limes, so I bought me a Christmas present. I already had a Green Finger Lime, this new one will give the Green finger lime company. Finger Limes are fun to just pick a few  and eat as you pass by the trees. Some of the plants I've purchased from Logees were great and a few not so great.  This new purchase was a nice tree.

Congratulations ! You deserve a special present ! I finally got a finger lime in early 2016 and it was fairly large. I think it was about to be marked up because it needed a larger pot. It might have had a big crop last year because it set less than 10 fruit for me. They were green a long time then turned a very dark red and I kept checking to see when they were easy to pull off. I guess I waited too long because most of them were very dry inside. It looks fine. If I can keep it warm this winter it should load up in 2017.

My condolences for the Broncos last night. They didn't do much while I was watching. But they did better than the Panthers this year.

Logee's red finger lime looks more like a bloodlime than a fingerlime...

Those in the picture sure don't look like a classic red finger lime.

Well when the tree fruits, we will see what we see.. If it turns out to be a finger lime, then great.  If it turns out to be a blood lime then also great. I'll let everyone know.

I'm sure it will be highly regarded no matter what. It is the red caviar finger limes that seem to interest people the most.
