Type jujube in the Search the Forum window (top right box) and click to see the threads. We do have a member who sells them but perhaps she does not want to do it here for her own reasons. Seek and you shall find.

Thamks Mary, maybe I can contact her and buy a couple.

Actually while you're on the boards do you have much experience with desert lime? What is its juice content/flavor like?

Oh. It's a native lime, think it comes from Roma in QLD. Pretty sure it is a weeping tree. Different from russel river lime I think.

Desert lime is pretty tough to grow where it's humid. It's a desert dweller. Looks like mistletoe. A friend has one doing well though, but I could not keep my two alive. The desert lime company sells grafted ones in mega tubes for about $15 at the Nambour garden show each year. Also sometimes at the food show at the convention centre. I don't think the CSIRO one is being promoted outside of the arid or semi-arid areas like Roma and Mt Isa.

I'm sure I can find somewhere on 3 acres for it. And the Australian desert lime trees are garbage as they are not grafted. I have found a 60cm grafted tree on the cheap.

Just to amend this, you are correct, the Australian desert lime co trees are indeed grafted; was looking at a different site.

Desert Limes range from the Nullabor to SA Flinders Ranges to Broken Hill To QLD.
Seedlings or cuttings of DL should be able to manage on less water than grafted, as Citrus rootstocks will require irrigation.
The wild DL is also good at suckering, so could come back from the roots if damaged.
Could be advantages or disadvantages to either cuttings or grafted, both will be true to type.

Thanks, jakfruit etiquette. I guess few of us would think about water requirements of rootstocks. Another good reason for growing seedlings!
