I also would like Procimquat and Key Lime from seeds ... but how get them ???

I ate hundreds of Key Limes hoping for seeds, but never got any ... Sad

If there were no seeds, you had Persian (Bearss, Tahiti) lime. Key lime is smaller and has quite a few seeds.

I always hear that ...

But we do not import from USA, for all is poisoned there.
So I just can buy them from Mexico and it is labeled as Mexican Lime .. and no seeds ... Sad

Quote:

Large numbers of Persian limes are grown, processed, and exported every year primarily from Mexico[1] to the American, European and Asian markets.

Almost all your pesticide is rated in EU as absolute deathly and contaminated stuff is not allowed to enter EU ...

Same about all your food BTW, it is impossible to import any food from USA here.

Many of the pesticides used in commercial farming are very toxic if not used properly. Very few of us hobby growers use any of those chemicals however.

Well, it is better to use none .. a lil soap in water kills most pests - and not you .. Wink

Besides: Most people do not know that modern pesticides contain additives who hold the pesticides on the surface of the plant.
Not even with a brush you could remove it.

People oftent hink in next rain it is away, but it isn´t ...
