Citrus glauca
Fruit is small and variable and depends on current climatic conditions and genetic make-up.[4] The limes have an intense piquant flavour, and years of good rainfall produce an abundance of fruit.However, C. glauca has also been extensively cleared from some areas due to the ongoing conversion of the wild bush into agricultural fields.It is characterised by its upright habit, relatively large, flavoursome fruit, high yield, uniform ripening time, lack of thorns, and suitability for mechanical harvesting.The Australian Outback lime was cultivated at the former CSIRO Plant Industry site at Merbein, Victoria by Steve Sykes.
