Australian Round Lime
Healthy looking plant, hopefully grows well. Neighbour across the road has one, quite old now, produces regular fruit

Does anyone have a good recipe for marmalde for round limes. What do I do with the thick skin?
Australian Round Lime
Beware of vicious needle like thorns. Unlike the finger lime, I found this one to be very slow growing, despite adequate care. Fruit very useful for Asian food and flavouring. Heavy bearer.
