Brain says... There are actually some 'sweet' limes around. If you have a search on the forum here, I entered into a debate trying to work out what is 'Australian Sweet lime'. anyway, long story short, there are 2 types of sweet lime out there and the Australian vesion is a decendant of one of them. Though if you google it, overseas experience shown that they seem to be sweet enough to eat and juice. | About the Author Brain Brisbane 20th September 2013 10:16am #UserID: 6289 Posts: 638 View All Brain's Edible Fruit Trees |

JakfruitEttiquette says... The Australian Lime commonly available, is probably a lime/mandarin hyb, its like a mild Rangpur, or very mild Bush Lemon, and not too limelike. Brain, how did you work out that its related to Sweet Lime ? ps I got seed in a couple of Australian Limes, and now that I think about it, seedlings look more like Sweet Lime than Rangpur or Lemon etc Sweet Lime, has a slight rosewater/turkish delight flavour, non acid and not too limelike either. Nice on museli for Vegans, or even Vulcans. | About the Author jakfruit etiquette 20th September 2013 12:06pm #UserID: 5133 Posts: 645 View All jakfruit etiquette's Edible Fruit Trees |
starling says... Boris, I understand what a lime is, but it has a flavour objectively independent from its sourness. I am merely looking for one without the other. I bought a couple of lemonades last night actually--one even has little fruit on it that I will probably prune off. 22$ each or thereabout from bunnings. They had seedless navel oranges on flying dragon rootstock, but the price was pretty hefty. Jakfruit, I used to be a vulcan but was pretty bad at it (think coke zero and potato gems) so now I've gone back to being pesco.GF is vegan though--hats off to her, too. I couldn't do it. Thanks guys, I will look into the sweet lime and see what I can pull up, thanks for all the replies.

Brain says... I got my Aus Sweet Lime from an independent supplier. I suspect it originated from Brunswick nursery. So doing some google to figure out what it was, I figured out it is either citrus limettioides or citrus limetta, based on the name. (i.e. what can be a Sweet lime). Then checking out the leave pattern, it has a very distinct V shape, so that's where I draw my conclusions, comparing to known pictures of the variety. Of course I can't be 100% sure. | About the Author Brain Brisbane 23rd September 2013 1:32pm #UserID: 6289 Posts: 638 View All Brain's Edible Fruit Trees |
