I'm south of the river and planted a tahitian lime a couple months ago.
It isn't looking the greatest (dropped most of its leaves) but is
definitely still alive.
I would be disappointed to learn they won't grow well here!

That sounds a lot like what mine was doing, dropping it's leaves. But even
after a year or so when it was healthy, the fruit just wouldn't ripen. The
limes would be the right size, and abundant, but they would drop off before
getting ripe... From other posts it sounds like they just need a bit of
extra time to get settled in, then a bit more attention too.

I'd still like to know if anyone has experience of the Palestine Sweet Lime,
or any of the Aussie native limes?

Thanks for all of the replies so far!


Liam.
