  2. It is an Australian Desert Lime. It bloomed for the first time this year, but no fruit set. It got knocked back a few years ago when it got very cold.

  3. hello, my name is Lautaro and I am from Argentina, I have been able to make many crosses but they do not have the purpose of creating resistance to extreme cold, but more than anything to create new fruits. but I have some members like: Limequat, Tarocco rosso, Genova lemon, Rampurg lime and Kaffir lime crossed with Kumquat Nagami. those would be the most resistant that I can have among my crosses. but since I am in Argentina I cannot access many species... I would love to obtain C. ichangensis and thus achieve resistant crosses. also be able to get some fast flowering Microcitrus like M. wakonia.
