Rev says... pics please! you are the one on the ground! play the journo :) Citrus have naturalized all over Oz From manjimup to mullumbimby you will find citrus in the bush. spit out seeds or survivors from abandoned bush encampments I found a very tasty mandarin doing fine in tall open wet eucalypt forest while lost and descending off the rim of the caldera in the tweed valley. It was such a relief! i bet with a few pics Leaves, form, fruit , fruit disssected and some notes on aroma, tang and locality - we could tell you , collectively | About the Author Rev North qld 31st August 2010 6:50pm #UserID: 1806 Posts: 359 View All Rev 's Edible Fruit Trees |

jakfruitetiquette says... Darwin bush lime?? Is it a Microcitrus, most of these have much smaller leaves than non native Citrus. Could be a naturalised West Indian lime, from the Darwin bush, leaves should have a nice lime scent. A lot of Citrus was destroyed during the NT canker outbreak, so it could also be something from years ago, originally from SEasia etc | About the Author jakfruitetiquette 6th July 2012 7:57am #UserID: 6820 Posts: 43 View All jakfruitetiquette's Edible Fruit Trees |

BJ says... If its native, it would be the Humpty Doo Lime, Citrus gracilis. Looks a bit like a cross between C. glauca and C. australis. Has round fruit of a decent size but quite ugly and you can often see the segments indented into the skin of the fruit. If it is a non native, easily identified by the size of the leaf, then its as others have said and its an ordinary lime variety gone bush. Here's a page on the different native citruses and hybrids: http://users.kymp.net/citruspages/australian.html | About the Author Theposterformerlyknownas Brisbane 6th July 2012 9:17am #UserID: 3270 Posts: 1552 View All Theposterformerlyknownas's Edible Fruit Trees |
