Hello,
Has anyone on this forum heard of a Kusaie Lime? It supposidly grows abundently in Hawaii. If you have heard or seen it, any chance of getting some seeds from one?
Please let me know, What, if anything you know about this Lime. I am an avid citrus collector and would love to add this one to my collection.
While I am at it, I have also heard of a sweet Orange named "Kona". They may still be producing fruit in the Kailua-Kona area.
I would DEARLY appreciate any help in tracking down these two fruits. If you can get any of the seeds from these, I am SURE we can work out a swap of some kind. Please do not necessarily go by my swap list, I can and have lots of other seeds.
Thanks!

| Googling it I get lots on the lime. For the orange a previous GW thread comes up, where someone saw it in a book and asked about it. |

| The Kona orange is a Valencia. It might grow differently in Kona than elsewhere due to the unique climate and soil. I think that Washington navels are also being sold as "Kona oranges" on the grounds that they were grown in Kona. |
