Anthony starts with ... Picked a few of these(on the right), up at work thinking that they were limes. Shape was a bit weird, but the look was generally right. Smooth, thin skin, super juicy looking. Cut open the flesh is more orange than green, with a nice grapefruit flavour, a few seeds. Any idea what they could be? I think they are locally grown(Lockyer Valley) as they weren’t packaged in a particular way, just in an old box.

Fruitylicious1 says... Hi Anthony I think the unusual lime that you found is a seed grown cv. We all know that most seed grown fruit trees doesn't grow true to type . There is a great variability among pip raised plants. It might have been pollinated by a non-lime cv nearby and the seeds harvested and planted hence the resulting fruit looks different from your conventional lime. That's my humble opinion though, I might be incorrect.

Anthony says... I’ve discovered the name of the gentleman who dropped these particular variety into work, so when I see him next I will ask about it and hopefully find out what it is. A lot of people have suggested Lemonade, but from what I’ve seen it’s not likely. Will let you know when I know.

Fruitylicious1 says... Hi Anthony I also took a good hard look at a lemonade fruit but i wasn't fully convinced that it is a lemonade. The shape, color, texture and rind is a bit different. I have uploaded a lemonade fruit image for comparison purposes. Happy gardening :-)
