Thanks for your response, Richard!
They're a cross between a key lime and a kumquat. They look just like a key lime. thorns and all. Since the largest fruits are starting to yellow, I guess they'd be sweeter. Supposedly you can eat the whole thing peel and all. I'll let you know.
It's only about 2.5 feet tall or maybe 3. I'll take a picture tomorrow when I'm out goofing around in the greenhouse.
