Hey All,

Here is a great resource from a recent research symposium out of UF: https://australianlimes.ifas.ufl.edu/

Great information and videos/talks - you can also see the two new varieties recently released (UF SunLime & UF RedLime)

Thanks for that. Are both those releases hybrids ? Wondering what the parents are ?
Guessing red fingerlime but one fruit looks like M.inodora too.
Also the Citrus parent ?

Piss P:
Good eye - SunLime has c. inodora as a parent. I found more info here:

This is awesome! Great to see something new being pushed out.

Thats interesting, both are Microcitrus X Microcitrus hybrids.
Also UF Red is possibly the only type of Red Fingerlime, australasica var sanguinea resulting from crossing and selection.
I think all the Fingerlime cultivars in Australia are straight selections from the wild.
