Lime - Red Centered (Grafted) ^10/10

Kate816's Edible Fruits
Update: 1176 days 13hrs

Comments: -

Such a cute little fruit, this one was bought late last year, planted in a grow bag while we decide where to install it (as with most of our spontanious purchases haha) and it has already fruited for us.

Egg-shaped little red limes. Great for seafood and sald and drinks! Low maintenance, looks like a finger lime in terms of the greenery, and appears to be just as slow growing and hardy.

Finger Lime - d'Emerald (Grafted) ^10/10

Kate816's Edible Fruits
Update: 1176 days 13hrs

Comments: - Going great guns in a grow bag until we decide exactly where to pop him in the ground. Fruiting already, and we only bought it late last year. Fruit should be ready to pick around Easter I'd say - highly recommend!

Very low maintenance.

Dwarf Lime - Tahitian (Grafted) ^10/10

Kate816's Edible Fruits
Update: 1176 days 14hrs

Comments: -

Going great, has lowanna strawberries growing around the base with some french marigolds and a french lavender as well. Doesn't seem to mind, in fact they may be acting like mulch perhaps.

Al lthe fruit dropped this time, but that's to be expected with a brand new young lime tree. It was also suffering black aphids for a day or two before I noticed, but some white oil sorted them out very swiftly and then ladybirds came and helped as well.

Very healthy, happy young tree.

Dwarf Lime - Tahitian (Grafted)

1010501's Edible Fruits
Update: 1705 days 8hrs

Comments: -

Plant arrived in Feb 2020 in great condition with soil still damp. Will plant this into a pot after 1-2 weeks outside and provide updates.

May 2020 - Has had one flush of growth since potting - new growth was damaged by citrus leafminer.

Spring 2020 - Flowered set one fruit (which dropped).

September 2021 - Now in 25L pot. Flush of new growth & flowers now (will knock these off), however has been slow growing - likely due to allowing to fruit last year and growing in a pot. Survived 2x Toowoomba winters with no damage (under shade cloth so frost couldn't settle).
