The so called "澳洲手指青檸" is actually a kind of what we call "bush tucker" here in Australia. They grow in the wild, and are only recognized by the indigenous locals; (Aborigines). They are now being collected in the north tropical part of Australia, and are used to served as a kind of rare and expensive delicacy mixed with salads or deserts in the top end hotels and restaurants that are frequented mostly by oversea tourists. I have yet to see one being grown in the local suburban gardens or botanic garden; neither are they available for sale at the nurseries that I have visited.作者: simpang1 時間: 2014-9-1 10:25 AM
我google過" Australian Finger Lime"
發現有些美國網址有這種手指青檸及樹苗賣,2年大樹苗@US$30。
如果你住的地方可以郵購樹苗,你可以試下。作者: norman.ho 時間: 2014-9-22 09:59 AM

Just to add a little comment to the "Australian finger lime"; as I mentioned before, its is an Australian native, and the leaves shape is quite distinct, they are narrow, small and sharp, very different to the normal citrus leaves; it grows to form a bush, and is very much unlike the tree shape of the general citrus. There is a normal citrus lemon tree in the background for comparison.
1#vandas I have tried growing lemon and oranges for a few times.
I bought grafted citrus from nursery,
climatised them to my garden;
then planted them into the ground with good soil and citrus fertilizer.
However, I had never been successful, mostly my fault, they had been neglected.
Last summer, when I was visiting a nursery,
my craving of growing citrus tickled me again.
As usual there were mostly grafted ones; but the nurseryman pointed out some
that were grown from seedlings.
I bought a few, some grafted Imperial mandarins, grafted Nagami kumquats;
I also bought a Meyer lemon and a Tahitian lime that were grown from seedlings.
The kumquat was already flowering when I bought it,
I harvested just over half a kilo. and I preserved them with raw sugar.
There were no flower on the lime, or mandarins yet.
Look at them now:
Meyer Lemon from seedling
Tahitian lime
Mandarins

is the seed brought from tabao?作者: norman.ho 時間: 2014-10-3 09:51 AM
"Tabao?" What is it? I guess you meant packing up the left over food from a restaurant meal to take home.
No, they wouldn't be selling seedlings there, the ones I bought were from a nursery. Not a baby nursery either .... ;)作者: chowold2 時間: 2014-10-3 11:18 AM
