The PLU codes you listed are generic for orange and lime....You would have to ask the retailer; and they likely don't know either. Pretty sad looking fruit.

sour orange would make good rootstock

Thanks, all. Yes, the fruit there was all ratty looking, and I picked the best of the boxes. I got them for the seeds, especially wanted the sour orange. I'd like to grow them for grafting experiments. I went there hoping to find a yuzu.

I started the seeds this afternoon.

Your 'sweet lime' looks identical to the 'Persian Sweet Lemon' that is sometimes available here from speciality shops. It is imported here in the UK from Iran - but probably not into the US for political reasons. It is called Limu Shiran and to me it tastes watery and insipid. However, in the Middle East and North Africa it is appreciated - particularly by children.

I notice that it is being propagated and sold by a Los Angeles nursery. See

Thanks, citrange2. That may be it.

Some of the sour orange seeds sprouted. I saved one to grow (it's in the middle in front). It's growing faster than my calamondin seedlings planted at the same time. It's got rounder leaves than calamondin seedlings. Btw, Those are southern live oaks started in the back - I got the seeds from a tree in Calabash, NC over Thanksgiving. .

That’s a great find at the store. The sour orange seedlings will make great rootstock for you! I gotta keep my eyes peeled for some sour oranges

the lime looks like a ripe Persian lime also know as a Bears lime. the same lime most people buy in the stores while still green. Once they are ripe they take on a mild, sweet taste compared to what most people think of as a lime. My Persian lime is potted in a very large tree pot and produces all year long. I prefer it to the Key Lime, larger, more juice and no thorns. There is a Palestinian lime that looks similar that I have heard was low acid so was not liked by the taster.

That could be it, Robert. I'm not sure. The taste of it was not at all lime like. It was sweet, and kind of odd tasting. Would make a good drink when mixed with something else. Some of the lime seeds germinated but I ended up throwing them out. I have to make more germination space for other things.
