After posting last weeks limes on the tree @summerfield wondered if they were limes or Calamansi/Philippine citrus and liked to see the inside.
Composition is not my strongest - but I hope this will work. Whatever they are they are very juicy and make a lovely lemonade. On top of that I can just pick them from the tree! I only need to be careful now because mommy Dove is still sitting on her nest and I don't want to scare her away...
@wakelys I bought my squeezers - I have a big and small one - on the market when we lived in Mexico. They are very useful. A couple of years ago I saw them appear in Walmart (Houston). And just looked you can get bright colored versions on Amazon now.
oopsy! i didn't get to see this right away, but they sure look like limes. i remember the minister had a calamansi garden in sana'a and they were propagating them at the time to grow in muscat. in any case, the calamansi are rather small, about an inch in diameter and they have this distinctive smell like lemon, only you can also smell sweetness and they have a lot of seeds. they once tried to modify the fruit so it would bear no seeds but that attempt failed. i have a pack of calamansi in the fridge right now. maybe i'll take a pic one of these days to show. btw, your presentation/set up is great. aces!
