I recieved some Australian Lime seeds from UCR a little while ago and I thought I would share some of the seedling pictures.

Australian Round Lime




Desert Lime




Russel River Lime

Jtoi, those are cool. I remember when you first wrote a thread looking for Austrailian cultivars. Actually I did not know that UCR shipped seeds to Canada. Good job!!! Millet

Glad to hear you've got some at last.
I'm a bit doubtful about the Round Lime seedlings, especially the ones on the right of the picture. They should have thin linear leaves for the first few years. Look more like Sydney hybrids to me - a cross between Round Lime and Fingerlime.
Time will tell!

I knew when I got them that most if not all would be hybrids after reading your site Citrange, but they looked so beautiful and look like they have good possibilities to become houseplants that I thought it would be interesting to give it a go, who knows maybe I'll get something very interesting if they live long enough to produce. I will put up pictures as they progress, thank you for the replies,
Sincerely,
James
P.S.
Citrange,
Are fingerlimes available in the U.K. ?
