| Desert Lime (Citrus glauca) - Native to Queensland and New South Wales, west of a line running from Rockhampton to Dubbo, with some isolated occurrences in central South Australia. | ||||||
| 'Australian Red Centre' lime is a hybrid produced by open pollination, from a cross between an Ellendale Mandarin (a mandarin and orange hybrid) and a seedling form of the Australian Finger lime (Citrus australasica var. sanguinea). | ||||||
| ‘Australian Sunrise' lime is a hybrid from an open pollinated seedling selected from a Faustrimedin, which is a hybrid of the finger lime with the calamondin; itself a hybrid between the cumquat and a variety of the mandarin group (Citrus reticulata). | ||||||
| The strong and distinctive citrus flavour from these fruit is used for distinctive but recognisably citrus flavour in sweet and savoury products.The current retail categories include fresh fruit, jams & conserves, dipping sauces, and simmer sauces. | ||||||
