Over $15 a kilo in Woolies (lemons = $3 per kilo). I harvested my first tomato today but expect a bumper crop soon. How many limes to the tomato? Anyone with a lime tree wanna barter?

I've got a lime tree! with no limes on it Can I still trade you tomatoes for my limeless lime tree?

I've just planted a lime AND a lemon tree - so no fruit on mine yet either. I was looking for a money tree to plant, but the nurseries seemed to be out of those ....

Governments own all the money trees.

And unfortunately, the coins I buried don't seem to be sprouting...

have a kaffir lime- anyone need leaves???


My tomatoes are only an inch high!! Going to be a while before anything happens with those, but I am getting a few strawberries now.

I was heard to exclaim very loudly in Woolies when I saw the price of limes on Sunday. We have just been to Thailand for a week and had a huge bag in the fridge. I started to tell my husband we should have brought them back then realised where we live!

Aren't Limes and Lemons communal trees?

don't you need more than one to get the pollination going for fruit?
I had a Lemon and a Lime tree at the last house and they were non producers until I got them some mates. then it was all on for young and old, I couldnt make the Gin and tonics quick enough

Them beagles woulda got u at the airport. We're trapped in lime limbo until the lime trees grow again.. Limes are the new tomatoes which were the old bananas

I think they produce fruit better with a bit of cross fertilisation - but its not required.

I bet this tree has a different name in the RSA

We're getting about 15-20 limes a year off of our smallish lime tree

We had dozens of Tahitian limes, from a 5 year old tree, this year and they keep for months in a poly bag in the fridge. A few fruit appear during the year so never really run out. There are 1000s of baby limes for next year.
It doesn't need a cross-pollinator.
