Rev starts with ... The seeded Key lime species with the more intense flavour not the hardier Tahitian lime seed hybrid i remember buying these in the store years ago and growing lime trees from seed. (polyembyonic seed) But these days i never see them. Only the sterile Tahitian lime. can anyone assist me? | About the Author Rev North qld 13th February 2009 3:35pm #UserID: 1806 Posts: 359 View All Rev 's Edible Fruit Trees |

Julie says... I have a wonderful Tahitian lime - several years old now. I bought another (I thought) to grow in a bag to take with me when I move, and it turned out to be another variety. Small round fruit, very acid, quite prolific. But I don't really like it, I prefer the taste of the Tahitian. So do my neighbours, who receive lots of my fruit. So is the second one a West Indian/Mexican/Key lime? If you were in WA you would be welcome to it Rev, but you are a bit far away! Just had a look at it - it doesn't sound like your description. So what on earth have I got? | About the Author Julie Roleystone 22nd March 2009 6:00pm #UserID: 154 Posts: 1842 View All Julie's Edible Fruit Trees |

Adam says... Usually these small acid limes are considered superior to the Tahitian lime (which is a West Indian/Mexican lime hybrid), but horses for courses I guess. If you don't like the lime that much fresh, you can salt them like a preserved lemon, which is what they are used for in some parts of Morocco. | About the Author Adam Melbourne 24th March 2009 11:12am #UserID: 1613 Posts: 110 View All Adam's Edible Fruit Trees |

Rev says... Ok then well that picture has me stumped what this 'sublime' is Its a PBR variety registered in ipaustralia as 'sublime'/ Citrus aurantifolia but it sure doesnt look like that although i did see some 'odd' limes at a stall run by a local phillipina that i bough a few of. they were yellow so fully ripe, and lightly ribbed rurface like those. seedy. and seemingly identical to the ones on the picture Adam supplied. Flavour was ok,a bit sour - maybe because they were fully or over ripe. The ones ive had in the past that were the best were lime green on the inside, small seedy and with a very strong limey tang. Like the tahitian but more pungent. i planted the pips from this phillipine lime anyway. | About the Author Rev NQ 31st March 2009 9:22am #UserID: 1806 Posts: 359 View All Rev 's Edible Fruit Trees |

Adam says... Mexican/West Indian/ Key limes have low genetic diversity, so are pretty much the same the world over. They fall off the tree when ripe and tend not to have as acid, although more juicy at this stage. Another way to differentiate them from the Tahitian lime is that they have a much more fine grained flesh. I have another lime sold as "Australian Lime", which has nothing to do with the native limes (I think this was released in the 1980's). Not sure what this is exactly, it could be a Tahitian hybrid by the look of it. The fruit are smaller and rounder then the Tahitian, bigger then the West Indian limes and is less acidic then either. | About the Author Adam Melbourne 1st April 2009 10:59am #UserID: 1613 Posts: 110 View All Adam's Edible Fruit Trees |

Rev says... Thanks Adam and yes please Julie. If possible a whole fruit because id like to investigate its skin,form and texture. my email is reville1@gmail.com There is another citrus up here used as a marinades, or drinks and sometimes like a lime for flavour - although the flavour is different. Its a Kalamansi, some type of citrofortunella hybrid. http://recipes.wikia.com/wiki/Calamansis I have planted many of these from seed and they came up easily and uniformly. Its good to have a tropical cumquat as i think the northern species need chilling. Theres so much untapped diversity of flavour in the smaller and more wild of the citrus. Its fun to learn and play with it! | About the Author Rev NQ 8th April 2009 12:46pm #UserID: 1806 Posts: 359 View All Rev 's Edible Fruit Trees |

Adam says... The vast majority of "Cumquats" sold in Australia are actually Calamanis/Calamondin. It is even marketed as the "Australian Cumquat" now. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calamondin However, the fruit produced from this tree in Melbourne are quite different to the fruit I have had in Malaysia. Often this is the case with citrus grown in different tropical v temperate climates, but it would be interesting to know if they were other differences as this tree was probably introduced into Australia in the 19th century. I have another similar citrus, sold in Australia as an "Indonesian lime", which is likely to be a Djerook Leemo/Djeruk limau. | About the Author Adam Melbourne 8th April 2009 4:30pm #UserID: 1613 Posts: 110 View All Adam's Edible Fruit Trees |

Rev says... Thanks Julie wont be necessary now that phillipine lime turns out to be C aurantifolia alright i can tell straight away as the seeds come up. the leaf margins, the distinct oil glands, the polyembryonic seeds. thanks for the offer though Ive only seen Calamansi in Brunei before. They were almost the same but maybe a touch smaller than the ones we have here. same tang though ive only ever grown Fortunella when i was down south , cultivars Meiwa - Marumi, and Nagami. Both are excellent. Meiwa was my favourite, skin and all off the tree, or else made into either a brandy preserve, or a Shochu like japanese liquer - sugar alcohol fruit aged several months. These Calamansi lack the better milder flavour but they make an ok susbtitute. Their juice is very good as part of a marinade for Pork. Or they can be crushed in a glass to extract the juice and skin oils, add raw sugar syrup, Lots of ice and a dash of White rum. A variation on a brazilian caipirinha. so they are someway tween a lime and a cumquat in usage. The ones i have are very similar to the picture labelled phullipine calamnsi on the above linked wikipage | About the Author Rev NQ 15th April 2009 4:56pm #UserID: 1806 Posts: 359 View All Rev 's Edible Fruit Trees |

Adam says... The Calamansi/Calamondin is pretty tough, grows well in Melbourne. You can even use them to make a hedge. The main issue I have with mine is that it produces huge amounts of fruit and this tends to be a drain on the tree, especially with the watering restrictions. So all the fruit is being removed this year as it forms. | About the Author Adam Melbourne 15th April 2009 8:56pm #UserID: 1613 Posts: 110 View All Adam's Edible Fruit Trees |

Rev says... a True Kumquat like "Nagami" or my preferred , "Meiwa" is better tasting a few things 1. softer edible skin 2. more elongated 3. smaller than kalamansi 4. seem less acid The kalamansi i have are great but the arent the same at all in flavour as kumquat. good but not the same, according to my taste - be your own judge i bought my meiwa through daleys and was very happy with it | About the Author Rev FNQ 8th August 2009 8:06pm #UserID: 1806 Posts: 359 View All Rev 's Edible Fruit Trees |

JUJUBE FOR SALE IN MELBOURNE says... Hi Michael, I have Citrus maxima ‘Mato Buntan’ pumelo. This year is very funny because they turn yellow every year at this time of the year but not this year. It took me amost 10 years to learn that I must wait to have the fruits fully ripe before picking them. I am still waiting for mine to turn yellow before taking photos and updating my edible with some more trees. There are about 100 fruits I think. I thin them 3 months ago when the fruits were young. | About the Author JUJUBE FOR SALE Melbourne 6th June 2010 5:27pm #UserID: 2706 Posts: 715 View All JUJUBE FOR SALE's Edible Fruit Trees |

JUJUBE FOR SALE IN MELBOURNE says... Hi Michael, Some of my pomelo fruits dropped on the ground. Normally this time of the year they have bitter after taste so I almost ignore them until I tested one fruit. I found they are perfectly to eat now. Sweet and no bitter after taste at all so it may be the Rain we have had recently that make the fruit juicy and sweet. The only diffrent compare to the last 10 years is lots of rain this year, mulch heavily so it may be the answer to the bitterness problem not the cold???.

Rev says... i had the most delicious pomelo ever a few weeks ago. Ive been waiting for the moment for a long time! i keep buying pomelos from the local markets and they are ok - better than supermarket citrus which are just inedible but this was superlative the skin was yellow, with a bronze/orange tint - lol like a spray tan :D the flesh was red and it was SO good does anyone know its name? i will go back to the Thai grocer and beg for more! i planted the seeds and they are starting to come up.

Ilijas says... Bunnings have had a few furfies sold to them wholesale. "Sublime" is labelled as Citrus aurantifolia (which is the Key/Mexican/West Indian Lime) but it is in fact nothing of the sort. A quick crush of a small bit of leaf will give it away that it's a dwarf form of the Tahitian lime. If you see anything labelled as "West Indian Lime" then that's the true Citrus aurantifolia. | About the Author Ilijas Melbourne 2nd April 2012 6:49pm #UserID: 6805 Posts: 29 View All Ilijas's Edible Fruit Trees |

I recently contacted the company 'Touch of Class Plants' who are the producers of the lime being sold as 'Sublime' as I've gotten conflicting information as to the variety of lime & wanted it cleared up for me once and for all. Here is their reply.... "we're not sure why you were informed that it was a Tahitian Lime as this is incorrect. Whoever replied to your initial message should have told you that Sublime is a Citrus aurantifolia. We're sorry if this has caused any confusion and please do not hesitate to contact us again if you have any questions. Here is the link to our site if you have not already seen it: http://www.touchofclassplants.com.au/product-detail/?id=68 - Thanks. Product Detail www.touchofclassplants.com.au" So there you go..

Mike Tr says... C.aurantifolia originated in SE Asia yet can be called mexican or key (sail away to key largo) lime and comes in many forms.They are the parent of the tahitian ( came from US not tahiti)which mat be half lemon. They set loads of fruit in thr tropics but can be less productive outside the tropics.They are seeds,stronger flavoured,more spikey,shorter lived and more seasonal than tahitians. Sublime is just one form and there are many different lines. | About the Author Mike Tr Cairns 13th January 2014 3:20pm #UserID: 8322 Posts: 614 View All Mike Tr's Edible Fruit Trees |

jakfruit etiquette says... The photo from the PBR website, well their C.aurantifolia specimen must be a Calamondin if i'm not mistaken???? Looking at Sublime trees i've seen, i would have guessed it was an off type/bud sport Tahiti Lime, maybe a diploid even ? Yes Mike, many versions of Key/West Indian Lime, but Sublime looks a touch different to me, slightly more than usual seedling variation. | About the Author jakfruit etiquette vic 13th January 2014 8:49pm #UserID: 5133 Posts: 915 View All jakfruit etiquette's Edible Fruit Trees |

Mike Tr says... Sublime is supposed to be just a PBR aurantifolia and I presume a seedling rather than a budsport. Key lime may in fact be a hybrid line variety that has thicker skin and various other differences.The ones you typically see in SE Asia have smaller, seedier,and stronger flavoured fruit on a more spikey tree. | About the Author Mike Tr Cairns 13th January 2014 9:10pm #UserID: 8322 Posts: 614 View All Mike Tr's Edible Fruit Trees |

Scotchmist says... Here's a pic of my 'Sublime' tree. I bought it around two years ago. First year it flowered and all the fruits fell off. This year (2nd year) the majority of flowers fell off again but two fruits seem to be staying put and there's a second flush of flowers coming on too. I give it a mix of citrus fert, potash and iron chelate. It's looking a bit weary at the moment in the pic due the the heatwave over the past few days. Hoping these two fruit stay on so I can finally taste a West Indian lime
