Greetings from Sweden!

I hope it's OK to place my first post here as I'm looking for 2 species that doesn't seem to be that common in Europe. And as I live in the EU I can't readily get it from Japan or the US.

Anyway, I'm wondering if any of the European members might have:

* Okniawan lime / Shikwasa / Citrus x depressa
* Kabosu / Citrus x sphaerocarpa

I read about Kabosu and Shekwasha, but I've never seen them anywhere...

Lately there have been posts about citrus and Okinawa., This is the second post relating to an Okinawan citrus variety. This surprises me, because I lived on the island of Okinawa (Naha City) for two years and never even seen a citrus tree of any type growing there. Are you sure there is an actual unique Okinawan Lime variety, or is it just a variety of lime brought to the island from elsewhere, and someone is calling it an "Okinawan Lime"? - Millet (181 to go-)

Hi Carl,

Where in Sweden do you live?
If you live in Skåne you should come by my nursery in Copenhagen.

Looks nice. I live just north of the capital so it's a bit to Copenhagen. But if I ever end up down there I'll try to pay you a visit.

Nice. My french is non-existing, but would you be willing to separate from any of them given a reasonable compensation? Wink
