Hi, I am trying to identify a lime I have. I purchased it as a Kaffa lime but do not think it is one. The only fruit I have seen so far is dark green with a warted type skin - not mature yet, about 3 cms. Does anyone have/ or know where I can see a picture of Kaffa fruit ? Leaf is very distinctive as it looks like 2 leaves , one on top of the other.

lizday, it's spelled Kaffir. You might try an internet search on that. Here's a link on Dave's Garden. [HYPERLINK@davesgarden.com]
