I have limequat and keylime both from record buck farms . both were tagged keylime followed by limequat n thorny keylime for the actual keylime.

those pics sure look like the limequat leaves n fruit . I suspect it is one .

will post pics tmrw

Here's then best key lime pic I could find in my phone. I'll post better photos tomorrow when the sun is up.

Strange. Here's my Key Lime.

Thanks everyone! Devsense, I'd love to see pics of yours. I am going to call Roebuck farms again to confirm. Dave and Evan, I can see the slight difference in the slightly more rounded leaves. Mine are slightly more elongated like a kumquat. I put it next to my actual kumquat and could definitely see the similarities.

I called them just now. For those of you who have this also, it is a Lakeland limequat. I knew there were three varieties of limequats and wanted to know which exact one it was....now we know!

The Key lime is a completely different tree from the Limequat. I would be very suspicious of any dealer selling a tree as if the 2 are the same. For all of you in zone 7 you can try you luck with a Thomasville Citrangequat for your key lime substitutes. They should grow very well out side. Make sure you get a grafted tree so you get fruit off a small tree. In zone 7 you can expect it to be killed back significantly every 10-20 years and you don't want to wait 10 years to reach the maturity point to get fruit.

Laura - thx for the info , I always thought its Eustis :) , will post pics later today once I am back home from work

Steve, I don't think they are trying to be sneaky, I just think their labeling is confusing. What the lady told me (which I already knew) is that they flavor of the limequat is similar to that of the key lime and that by crossing the two, they make it more cold tolerant for those up north. For my area, it makes no difference bc neither can survive, but maybe those a little south of me can get away with planting it in the grown. I still want a regular key lime though...

Please post your pics Dev when you can. I'd love to see your tree!

Thanks Laura- great sleuthing! I didn't even know there were different types of limequat... not sure why they didn't tell me that on the phone... calling all the way from the great white north for information people!! lol.

Looks like these little trees get around. Looks like fruit isn't too far off Laura... is this the one you thought was a key that puts out tons of fruit?

Yes Hobby! I have two of those - one a rescue that is flourishing! They are great little bushes. I just potted up my smaller one bc he (his name is Henry :-) has tripled in size! He's the one I took the cutting from. He had a huge water spout. You'll be very happy with it.

I think the reason they may not have mentioned the variety is bc the lady did not know herself. She had to go find out. The Lakeland one seems the best one.

Oh good, that was going to be my next questions, what is the difference between the Eustis and the Lakeland if you or anyone knows?

So now you are on the hunt for a bush key lime as well? I'm sure you won't find that too disappointing lol...

Yes Hobby! I'm on the hunt...lol! The nursery where I got these is getting a shipment late this week from that farm. The lady from Record buck farms said the currently had bushy key limes, so perhaps they'll have included a few in the order. Fingers crossed!

Here are the pics , in pictures they dont look as different as I observed looking at the trees .

the first one is keylime , second one Limequat

Yeah, they do look quite similar! I would not be able to tell them apart. Have you tried the fruit from each?
