RE: Has anyone ever done work with the Australian desert lime .

I haven't but I was searching Citrus glauca

( the new latin name I've read changed from Eremocitrus glauca), and found this.

IM looking to see what zone it grows in or how cold hardy it is, because I've read it is cold tolerant.
(I know poncirus trifoliata is suposed to be cold hardy(zone 6) so I was wondering if this one Is also, but I found out it goes to - 5 C.)

Here is a link that might be useful: http://www.homecitrusgrowers.co.uk/australiannativecitrus/eremowhat.html

That was what I was thinking cross breed them both ways .
drought resistant and cold resistant have similar traits .
That would be the first step in extending the range of the citrus .
