Query-- rare citrus aficionados

[jujubemulberry]

@Sas

decided to get my first plant simply because it is a beautiful plant with all the thorns and hopefully the green fruit, but know that I’d have to bring it inside during the winter.

i am actually giving our specimen the ‘cold shoulder’ this winter, as am not big on sheltering plants. If it survives our 15-20F winters outdoors and naked, i will definitely update this thread. And likewise if it succumbs. Our finger lime actually bears maroon/brown fruits, not the green ones or the pink ones, and like you , am interested in the other colors, in the hopes that anyone of them might be hardier to cold weather than the cultivar we have.

@Sas

more of a novelty item than anything else.

i agree, it has its own unique flavor and texture but it is probably the rarity which make it so expensive. I linked the following as this thread’s sequel, if you haven’t seen it yet.

Aussie finger lime

precocious in vegas, blooming straight from onegreenworld’s delivery box when it arrived this spring, although seems to be sensitive to full sun. Caviar-like pulp bits have a pommelo flavor and texture, but has its own unique signature will be subjecting it to 20F or lower this winter(unsheltered/unheated) and see how it fares [image][image]
