Native finger limes are at risk of losing their Australian identity with the fruit already being produced in larger quantities overseas.
"Ultimately, I would love to establish an industry body for the finger lime industry, and as Australians, lead that body, but not exclude the other countries. And the world hopefully will know that. "One grower I visited in Spain had 5,000 trees, which were in incredible condition and really well. That happened almost weekly for a couple of years," he said. We know that. Ms King says she has asked the growers she's visited but is still uncertain.
