Citruslimetta starts with ... Hi I was in Iran recently and I came across a citrus the locals called 'limoo shirin''. In India its called mousambi and the technical name is citrus limetta. I am going crazy trying to find it. I cannot find this plant in any nursery. No Indian shops that I've been in have the fruit. I'm happy to grow it from seed and graft it onto something suitable but I cannot get seeds. Does anyone have this plant that I could get seeds from? Or know a specific grower/nursery? A search of this forum with citrus limetta brought up some threads but nothing that was concrete and clear. | About the Author Citruslimetta Heidelberg 14th November 2017 10:28pm #UserID: 17295 Posts: 2 View All Citruslimetta's Edible Fruit Trees |

Fruitylicious1 says... Hi Citruslimetta Importing citrus plant material to Australia is difficult because of the potential danger it poses to the thriving citrus industry in this country. Being said that you can try the following U.S.A. orgs. 1. usda-ars national clonal germplasm repository for citrus and dates (ncgr) e-mail: riv@ars-grin.gov tel: ++951-827-4399 2. citrus clonal protection program lindcove research and extension center 22963 carson ave. exeter, ca 93221 u.s.a. e-mail: ccpp@ucr.edu voice: (559) 429-9718 If you would like to settle for a slightly different product that's available in Australia you can try lemonade tree or sweet lime tree. Both are good for eating and juicing. In production at daleys as of today. Lemonade tree available at citrusmen nursery though sweet lime tree is out of stock at the moment. I hope this little info will help you find the elusive limetta citrus variety.

Fruitylicious1 says... Hi Sfusato The closest you can get of the famed Sfusato Italian lemon in Australia is through Guildford garden center in W.A. It is being sold as Limoncillo lemon. I'm not sure though if the limoncillo lemon tree that they are offering is the same as the Sfusato lemon that you are after. Visit their website and inquire to satisfy your curiosity 🤔

jakfruit etiquette says... Ive not seen it ever listed in Australia. That includes Citrus research collections, but that info may be out of date. Its such a huge lemon, when most Aussies buy one or two regular lemons per week or even per month, I dont think anyone would commercially import the variety ??. That said, there is a lot of stuff in backyards from years ago, so it might be around in Italian communities. Also there is a level of Citrus fruit imports into Australia, including some unusual stuff. It may be worth contacting fruit markets, importers. | About the Author jakfruit etiquette vic 15th January 2020 10:59pm #UserID: 5133 Posts: 915 View All jakfruit etiquette's Edible Fruit Trees |
