New Home Owner starts with ... Hello gardeners and citrus specialists in particular! As part of our new home we have inherited a variety of citrus we have no knowledge of. Its not a lime or a lemon, is thick skinned, looks like a lime (though some go yellow) and tastes more like a lemon (not as tart). The tree does not have thorns & small bugs love it. Any ideas as to what it may be? Thank s.

Thithi says... Not sublime. I got 2 sublime plants. Does not look like it. I would have guessed it could be West Indian lime but sublime is cutting grown of West Indian. http://www.annettemcfarlane.com/Citrus%20Guide.pdf | About the Author Thithi MELBOURNE,3000,VIC 8th February 2015 11:45pm #UserID: 10139 Posts: 193 View All Thithi's Edible Fruit Trees |

jakfruit etiquette says... Limequat? foliage seems wrong for a Fortunella hybrid, ie not Kumquat type foliage. Not West Indian lime, maybe not Sublime which is close to a Tahiti type. I'm seeing under ripe fruit, not at colour break, also Limes go yellow when fully ripe(outside the tropics)so maybe wrongly thinking its a lime because its green. May have to wait till peel fully colours to fully ID. If I zoom out on the pics, mainly looks like Myer lemon ? http://skinnydecadence.blogspot.com.au/2010/11/my-meyer-lemon-tree.html http://thedigitalmuse.net/piceenp/growing-meyer-lemon-tree-texas | About the Author jakfruit etiquette vic 9th February 2015 1:30am #UserID: 5133 Posts: 915 View All jakfruit etiquette's Edible Fruit Trees |

jakfruit etiquette says... From the new pics it looks like a Mandarin Lime. The most common are the many types of Rangpur Lime, which have lime like acid fruit with a dash of mandarin flavour. They finish up with puffy skin, mandarin looking fruit. http://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/fruits/mandarin-lime-trees/growing-mandarin-limes.htm Your tree has yellow fruit. In that case it is, or close to a Kusaie Lime. http://citruspages.free.fr/images/kusaie2.jpg http://citruspages.free.fr/images/kusaie3.jpg These dont have as strong a mandarin note to their flavour, more like bitter lemon. I would see what the older fruit end up like, also is it a grafted tree, or seedling which can be a bit variable ? | About the Author jakfruit etiquette vic 15th February 2015 7:10am #UserID: 5133 Posts: 915 View All jakfruit etiquette's Edible Fruit Trees |
