Australian Finger limes

[Pixar]

Just planted a batch of 20 finger limes in a tray . I was also sent another 20 seed ( from last year ) they were planted as well only thing they were soaked in water and hydrogen perioxide for an extra day .
We see what happen i guess

Got them all in my Sun Room at the house ( just like a glasshouse )

Had to go look for it because it's been a while, but @GailC was asking questions about these in a Tea House thread at one time.
Here's that thread if anyone is interested in furthering the topic.

Anyone grow finger limes?

Is there anyone who is growing finger limes and might have fruit this year? I keep buying seeds just for them to be something else. I'd really like to find some seeds from a member here or even a couple limes themselves. I just don't know where else to look.

Hope you have tough hands or good gloves. Finger lime is VERY prickly. Smaller spines than Poncirus trifoliata (flying dragon) but just as savage on the hands.
Normal growth seems to be long and straight but I guess regular pruning will change that.

This is why I only grow tropical species in that room at the moment

Spider mites will prune them for us. Mine stays bushy because of that.
And maybe because I keep forgetting to water it and the tips die back. Could be both.
