I have the same tree as the picture sold to me as Kaffir Lime tree and there was a tag still attached to the tree from mycitrustree.com. I have emailed them to identify the tree for me because its definitely not kaffir lime tree.
ReplyDeleteI have the same leaves as your picture they are growing off of a new growth from my blood orange tree..I am guessing it was the mother tree genes before they grafted the tree
ReplyDeleteMy son has the same tree and i still wondered is it a lime tree or orange tree the fruit looks more like lime round green shape,tested like lime but very strong in acid.
ReplyDeleteThese are trifoliate. Nurseries use this rootstock to graft other citrus clones onto. The rootstock is cold and drought tolerant. Just make sure to eradicate these "suckers" growing from the base of the tree (below the graft line) and you will be dandy.
ReplyDeleteI have one. My grafted lemon tree died down to the graft, and this is what came up. After three years, it finally put out a hard, large marble sized green fruit that is utterly inedible. Bitter beyond belief.
