Krusea Lime
 

Hello Gardeners,

I bought a Krusea lime tree by accident (I thought I'd picked up a
Tahitian) but planted it to see what happened. Not much after 1 year.
It has had little immature green friuts about 1cm diameter in the past.

Does anyone have any info on this cultivar, please.

I'm in Perth.

Thanks,

Paul

Had a reply from a member of GardenWeb. The lime is probably a
"Kusiae". I was sent this link:

Hi Len,

Have had some more info. Actual spelling is Kusaie. There are more
references to Kusaie than Kusiae on the web.

Hope to get some fruit this summer, then perhaps some marmalade or
squashed into drinks, Thai food perhaps. I'll have to see what the
fruits turn out like.

I know this is an old thread, BUT!
Did you happen to or are you still getting any fruit from your Kusaie Lime? I would love to try and get some seeds from you if you have some.
Please let me know, My e-mail addy is:

Thanks!
