Nice!

Btw: I just saw some at farmers market this morning.  Calpoly SLO's horticulture,  $5/lb. The ladies were constantly explaining what they were and uses to people.

I’ve been selling fingerlimes at my farmers market. It’s an easy thing to demonstrate and sells alright. The one I’m selling has white/transparent pulp. I just got a red one that has terrific presentation. But the white one has better flavor and an especially good and special fragrance that the red one doesn’t seem to have.
They grow well and produce pretty quickly.

The release from UF is a red type I'm going to try to get hold of some fruit.
