sternus1 says... Don't waste your time Nick, seedling fingerlimes are garbage. Buy grafted otherwise you'll be waiting at least 8 years for fruit, probably ten though, and chances are you'll get a bummer anyway even when it does fruit. Worth popping in to bunnings from time to time as they sometimes have good varieties. Look out for red champagne, crimson tide, chartreuse and pink ice. | About the Author sternus1 Australia 7th August 2015 5:01pm #UserID: 8314 Posts: 1318 View All sternus1's Edible Fruit Trees |
Nick1985Limey says... Thanks sternus, I have had trouble finding any of the sought after varieties in WA. I have a; -Judy's everbearing -Rainforest Pearl -Red Centre -Green Sapphire -Citrus Glauca. (not fingerlime) I've ordered a Jali Red from Daleys, and put myself on the notification list for ALL the others so hopefully I can get one across the Nullabor, even if it does cost a bomb to get postage and quarantine. I really want a Crimson tide, Purple Bliss and a Collette. I have seeds from a Rick's Red and Yellow Sunshine, but like you said, they probably won't grow true and I probably will have found a grafted one by the time they fruit. I found a guy selling budwood on ebay, but noone in Perth sells rootstock, there's only one company doing rootstock and grafting and they don't answer their phone. | About the Author Nick1985Limey Fremantle 8th August 2015 2:04pm #UserID: 12004 Posts: 26 View All Nick1985Limey's Edible Fruit Trees |
sternus1 says... Mate I don't know about fingerlimes, but there is a killer exotic fruit Nursery in Leeming WA. They sell all kinds of stiff including star apple, caramabolas, wax apples, and sapodilla. If you get stuck importing stuff I'm happy to send it to you if you pay for it all. I've done it a few times for a couple of people in SA. | About the Author sternus1 Australia 8th August 2015 6:57pm #UserID: 8314 Posts: 1318 View All sternus1's Edible Fruit Trees |

jakfruit etiquette says... Any graft propagated FL could be started from cuttings if you cant get trees any other way. If you want rootstocks, learn to recognise rootstock fruit. They can be sometimes found on 5 to 10 year old Citrus where a sucker has taken over. Most of the common Citrus rootstocks have trifoliate leaves, so the plant stands out anyway. | About the Author jakfruit etiquette vic 9th August 2015 11:22am #UserID: 5133 Posts: 915 View All jakfruit etiquette's Edible Fruit Trees |
