Contact briteleaf! They have rooted cuttings for $15, pretty decent sized too! One of the 5 I ordered even came with flowers.

Note they don’t have them listed on their site yet, I would send them an email. They told me about them based on how much I order from them lol.

Thanks Frank! Will check them out.

Picked up a tree (green) from Just Fruits and Exotics in Crawfordville. Healthy bush, looking real nice.

Sure! They have what’s called a Large Finger Lime which I guess is a larger fruit version of a green finger lime as well. Good you found a decent one though anyways!

The only place I know that sells red pulped is One Green World, currently out of stock but they told me they’re almost ready to go up! I’m awaiting that notification lol.

Some listings on Etsy, but expensive. Hopefully can buy some budwood of Champagne finger lime.

Some definite _____s (what's up with the edit, seriously) on Etsy and eBay selling "finger lime/champagne finger lime."

Happy that I know cool and honest people here on TFF, local, and abroad.
