www.justfruitsandexotics.com has some finger limes, but just the basics. None of the unique colored finger limes, at least not yet.

I have a current question, I bought numerous different citrus trees to grow in containers this year. All but the finger lime and the yuzu have at least flowered so far this spring and summer. Do finger limes take longer than average to mature? It is about 3 feet tall and has a decent canopy so I would have expected some flowers at least. Thanks in advance!

I have one in a pot I bought at a native plant sale a couple of years ago. The deer nibbled it and set it back somewhat last year, but I see some new growth on it this year. The new leaves are very dark, almost black but I assume they will green as they grow. I'm glad to see what a more fully grown one looks like, thanks! I look forward-- eventually -- to fruit as some other pages indicate it is very tasty....

Sorry, I've been busy. The visit went very well. The young man knows his stuff, genuinely cares about the good health and integrity of gardens, commercial and residential and likes his job. First we went over documentation. Regulations require that buyers (us) obtain a permit to get a plant from overseas AS WELL AS requiring that seller has a phyto certif. or some agreement with USDA. The Netherlands, for ex., has such agreement. That is why you can go to tourist shops there and bring back the bulbs they sell. But technically, you should have permit in your wallet and declare those things when going thru customs. You can get permission up to 12 of certain plants in your luggage, again, need permit to do that and declare. Not all plants, there is a list. You go to USDA website and search permit PPQ Form 587 and it will tell you what all you need to do. As to my plant, he said that technically he should have confiscated but didn't. However, he asked me to report of any problems with plant. I said yes and considered it a solemn promise to him. There will be a record of my visit, what I purchased/planted, from whom, etc. As to my other citruses, other than aphids, there were all in good health though he did take several pics of a branch on mi Lisbon Lemon. He noticed something unusual and said he'd contact me if problems. I feel better but it will be much simpler if I just buy stuff here, by the rule. Easier said than done where my taste for the exotic rears its ugly head.....
