Does anyone have some Dragon lime or Poncirus X Taiwanica seeds?
/Martin

I believe the plant I know as Dragon Lime is seedless, but Stan or Mr. Texas will be able to tell you if that is the case.

I dont think so- A few years ago i got some from a user of this forum from VA. But i do not know if it comes true from seed. Which doesnt matter because i would like to test hybrids of Dragon lime as well.

I have a ton of TaiTri fruit this year.

I'll save you some seeds.


I just ate a Dragon Lime fruit last week but it was seedless. I think there are a couple more fruit on the tree. I will check for seeds. My tree is for the most part seedless but I do find a stray seed every so often.

Good. I had a mature tree several years ago, and thought I remembered that it had few if any seed. Also, it seems like I ate one or two of Stan McKenzie's and found them to be devoid of seed.

Hi !

That fruits look tasty, but do they really taste good ?

hi, as with common names it looks to me,as if at least two citrus called dragon lime,one shown here,in asia another looks like calamonium, with double size fruit with large flat bottom,tasts more like kumquat!chinese new year tree.artie

Artie the citrus discussed here is a hybrid of the trifoliata flying dragon, not the cal / madarin hybrid.

Here's a link to the Asian fruit http://thestar.com.my/lifestyle/story.asp?file=/2004/1/19/features/7116998&sec=features

Mandarin oranges are called 'kum' meaning gold (金) in Chinese. Citrus limes like calamondin, tangerines and kumquat are called 'kat' (吉) meaning 'auspicious'.

From the photos I have seen of the Asian "Dragon lime" it looks like a Changshou kumquat

:puke:

I believe the Dragon Lime here in the USA was discovered by Buddingman. I haven't tried, but I would guess a search of this forum would get you a lot of info about it.

Thanx, but I like tasty stuff only ...
