    Extremely difficult to grow in my area - But I still did it, somehow!!! :D

    It's the same as any other regular lime, however it is long, not round - Not as long as a cucumber, but far more oval then an egg... Also because it's long, it is 2 to 3 times the size of a regular lime (and thus just as many times more juice in it)!

    :setf_056:

    Taste wise it's the same as normal limes, not as great as my Persian limes (which are very close to Key limes). But I like to have them both in my garden! Really wish I could invite you all over to my house and share the lemonade I'll now make out of this! :) But alas, all I can do is share this picture over here... :shrug:

    This is not to be confused with the Australian finger limes, as that is a totally different variety of lime altogether, (with it's own flavor)... So next I'll see if I can grow those in my garden too! :D

    You make me wish I could grow lime here, but I can't. Congratulations on growing it. I hope you have a lot of lime and lots of limonade.

    Citrus doesn`t like our north Texas weather. Yours looks good.
