TammyLI starts with ... Hi all, my names tammy and im doing an assignment for agroecology at uni, im trying to get information on whether anyone has had success growing fingerlime in north queensland? and if so what were the conditions. I have to come up with a new agricultural venture for a hobby farm and im looking at the finger lime - only the property does get a fair amount of wind any suggestions, thanks | About the Author TammyLI cairns 18th April 2015 7:00pm #UserID: 11648 Posts: 1 View All TammyLI's Edible Fruit Trees |

MIke T1 says... South of Ingham and parts of the Atherton Tablelands that get less than 1800mm/yr as well as the Einasleigh uplands would be OK for production of fingerlimes.I would check out if supply will be outstripping demand in the near future.As JE suggests there are a few native species that are options.Everyone seeks the high value crop that other people don't have and where demand is good or to be first to try a species. | About the Author MIke T1 cairns 19th April 2015 7:33pm #UserID: 10744 Posts: 250 View All MIke T1's Edible Fruit Trees |
