John, Citrus is a tropical fruit; only recently adapted to the Mediterranean climates. Don't ask me about grapefruit; because I don'tgrow them or eat them.... you have to read my first book to understant that. I do know a bit about other citrus; and a lot about Meyer lemon. Don't stress about Fiji; you can grow great citrus there.. maybe not as close as you are to the ocean. I am not expert in mandarins, so you are on your own here. Color is only important for the market; the fruit inside is the same.

Ronald: Yes, I have two seedling abiu trees. One has fruited one time, but I never got to tatse the fruit as we went away on vacation just before they were ready to be picked and they were gone when we returned. Here are some pictures I posted previously in another thread on this forum. Unforunately this bloom pictured, was only on one of the trees, and no fruit set. Actually, this particular tree has bloomed several times over the past few years (and multiple times per year) and has never set a fruit. I may have to take the chain saw out and let it rest by the trunk of the tree for a few days to see if that gets any rise out of the darn thing. There is a wide range of quality of fruit on Abiu, just like in Star Apple. How did your's compare?

Hello, I just saw your post wanting orchid pups. I have some here to trade also. Regards, Brendon

Definitely NOT native to this area! We have mild winters, so you classify our gardening as zone 8, 9 or even 10, but our summers are nearer to your Zone 5. Some places over here have had overnight frosts in the last week. If you're talking about a variety of Citrus limon, they do grow it in Australia - see the link below. It would surely be easier for you to find a fresh fruit and collect the seeds yourself? Here is a link that might be useful: Bush Lemon
