Does Red Australian Finger Lime Need Cool Weather to Flower/ Fruit?

<< < (2/2)

pagnr:
I spoke to the nursery where I purchased the “Australian Red”, the actual variety name is “Sanguinea”.

Ok, that seems a bit odd. Citrus australasica var sanguinea is an older botanical term for all red pigmented Fingerlimes.
(It ignores the other pigmented types, yellow, pink etc ).
Many Fingerlimes with red pigment would be var sanguine.
On the other hand there does seem to be a UC riverside fingerlime accession var Sanguinea, but the information is a bit confusing.
Maybe it traces back to a UC release ?

Very interesting, thank you.

I've been growing a green finger lime for over 8 years (which I'm also looking to sell, though it's in a 15 gall pot, lol).  It flowers almost continuously, even indoors when I bring it in for the winter.  We get 95% humidity here in the summer, and it doesn't seem to interfere with the fruiting process.  Hope this helps!
