Hi !

I am looking for seeds of australian citrus.

I have yet to see any seeds from this plant. Generally, from what I've found online, the fruit are seedless.

Hi !

To produce seedless citrus, the polls are sterile.
Any citrus poll will change that ...

In my reading up on finger limes, I've read that they almost never have seeds. Since this is a new species to me, I'm not inclined to argue. What I've seen from my own plant certainly backs this up, unlike any other citrus I've owned.

Then perhaps you should contact the people who took those pictures for seeds.

I just did a search and couldn't find any images showing seeds. Can you post the URL for one? You have me curious now.

victor, do you still have your finger lime? Mine is struggling, can't tell if too much water or not enough.

Thanks for the links. Vossner, my plant is still alive, but like you, I can't tell what I need to do to make it happier.
