Sunrise Lime Inside?

27 responses

Nick1985Limey starts with ... Hi, I'm just wondering what a Sunrise Lime looks like inside (The one that's a cross between a fingerlime and a cumquat/calomondin). If it's just like a cumquat, I will just buy a nagami cumquat tree, since the tree is better looking and easier to get through my wife's approval. If it's the caviar-ball type flesh I think I want one. Thanks, Nick	About the Author Nick1985Limey Fremantle 8th September 2015 1:28pm #UserID: 12004 Posts: 26 View All Nick1985Limey's Edible Fruit Trees

Markmelb says... My Sunrise lime - and I wouldnt call it a fingerlime really doesnt have caviar balls and doesnt taste that great either - get yourself a standard green or red fleshed FL or that everbearer one? They also tend to crop well every 2nd year too i have noticed. Dont bother with a cumquot - id rather have an Australian Lime if I had more space.

Nick1985Limey says... Hi Bangkok, I have the red centre lime, it is pretty good. It tastes good and is a very pretty, different little fruit. There is another hybrid called a sunrise lime, it grows on a finger lime like tree, but it looks like a pear shaped little yellow cumquat. http://www.citrustogrow.com.au/citrus-range/citrus-gems/ It's the second last one on that page. My local shop has very healthy 4 year old ones for $85. There must be a reason why noone is buying them. And probably why Daley's doesn't stock them either.

Brain says... Well, if you are patient enough, you could end up with a great var and name after yourself. :) Few years ago, when finger lime was all the rave and extremely expensive, i went and got a few seeds as a low cost entry. Now the commercial nurseries are selling them, they are now much cheaper, so not worth the hassel of getting seeds. Hard to beat 20 bucks for a fruiting grafted plant!

There is another hybrid called a sunrise lime, it grows on a finger lime like tree, but it looks like a pear shaped little yellow cumquat.

It's the second last one on that page.

No Carl, crimson tide has black skin and very large, very red caviar.

Byron Sunrise is still a very good CV though, downside is the fruit are quite small and stubby.

Came across gourmetlimes.com.au , sell Crimson for $17 while Byron is $25, you would think Byron was better then. Maybe has a Protected distribution rights on it.

Carl; I'd wager that has to with Byron sunrise being a lower producer. Incidentally Byron sunrise is a beautiful, ornamental tree--definitely the most attractive finger lime. The colour of the pulp is amazing too.

Jackfruit calamansi/ calamondin are just ok for me. Generally anything more tart than a minni tangelo and I'm out.

I just picked up a few little ruby finger limes from a Perth Nursery.

They said all of the best grafted varieties are either not sent to Perth, because they're too rainforesty and just die, or they are being purchased in big volumes by the Americans who are currently setting up farms all over the citrus regions in the USA.

I assume that means certain varieties of finger lime have been certified for export and don't carry viruses and things like that?

Sternus,

You mentioned aussielimesinternational, they're selling seeds on ebay, are seeds worth getting ?

The yellow you referred to as being worth getting was that yellow sunshine ?

Finger lime seeds are mono, and therefore not true to type.

So no.

Well, if you are patient enough, you could end up with a great var and name after yourself. :)

Few years ago, when finger lime was all the rave and extremely expensive, i went and got a few seeds as a low cost entry. Now the commercial nurseries are selling them, they are now much cheaper, so not worth the hassel of getting seeds. Hard to beat 20 bucks for a fruiting grafted plant!
