Mish says... Hi Karrie Dwarf Lisbon (Lemon) are good producers they have thinner skin than Eureka and are more cold tolerant than the Eureka too. There is also a dwarf Meyer (lemon), but this is not a true lemon and not recommended for cooking where you need that real bitter lemon taste. It is also labelled as 'Lots of Lemons'. Dwarf Tahitian (lime) is a good producer of acidic lime. I'm not sure if there is a dwarf West Indian (key lime). There is also a new variety labelled 'Sublime' which is specifically designed for pot growing and is a prolific bearer. This is the one I have, just a baby at the moment. Hope this helps... | About the Author Mish Singleton 25th January 2010 1:29pm #UserID: 3045 Posts: 42 View All Mish's Edible Fruit Trees |

Pauline says... 'Sublime' is their commercial name for it. The latin name for it is Citrus aurantifolia which is actually the same as a key lime (I didn't know that until just googling it lol). It is a grafted lime. It responds really well to pruning. The fruits look yellow when they are fully ripe, but can be picked before that (but to me taste fine when they are yellow). They grow great in pots. What else would you like to know? | About the Author Pauline Adelaide 26th July 2010 10:09pm #UserID: 1532 Posts: 293 View All Pauline's Edible Fruit Trees |
Michael says... I wanted to know exactly what lime variety was this Sublime . I manage to get more information on it based on the attached links. It is a non grafted but early fruiting ,thorn less bush design for pots .It's actually a new form of the West Indian Lime which is the same as the Key Lime I think. Based on the information I am happy with my purchase. http://www.colourwise.com/PDF/ColourwiseNLWinter09.pdf http://www.fortune-8.com/WhatsComing.shtml | About the Author Michael D Cabramatta 27th July 2010 6:00pm #UserID: 1938 Posts: 116 View All Michael D's Edible Fruit Trees |
