(Bill, I can find a commercial seed source for what's called Cherokee Green Stripes,which has a different origin from the original Cherokee Lime.) Do you know of a commercial source for Cherokee Lime seeds? A Google search brings up nothing and the SSE2013 Yearbook has no listing for it and Tania doesn't either.) nd Bill answered me in the other thread as to availabiity which I guess you saw, maybe not. Anyone interested in the striped version can Google the commercial source for that variety. As for me, I'm confused, not uncommon,, going back and forth between this thread that Ami put up, and the continuation of info in the GWRipe thread. If that was my only confusion, life would be grand. Carolyn

I am not aware of a variety called Cherokee Green Stripes or Cherokee Green Striped. And I assume it is not derived from Cherokee Lime. If it is, then it's a rename, because Cherokee Lime has not been available long enough to ... whatever it is that happens.
I am aware of Cherokee Lime Stripes or Cherokee Lime Striped, it came from seeds I sent to another grower, and is the result of a bee-cross in my garden to one of my Cherokee Lime plants. However, when trying to increase the seeds this year, I only got a couple of feeble sprouts. So, that will have to wait 'til the future, unless you get seeds from someone else. Cherokee Lime occurred as follows: Cherokee Purple >> Cherokee Chocolate >> Cherokee Green >> Golden Cherokee >> Cherokee Lemon >> Cherokee Lime. I can only list the known seed parent lines, and I can only surmise as to whether the lineage is due to mutations or outcrosses. But that is a discussion that already took a left turn some time ago. |

So my error on saying Green when I should have said Lime, but did say Cherokee Lime Stripes first in that post. And in a post above I also said that folks could Google Cherokee Lime Stripes tofind the commercial source for it if they wished to. When I'm absolutely perfect I'll start a thread in the 2 cents Forum, saying so. I think you're saying I should just ask Ami for seeds. Correct? I wouldn't need them or want them until early next year for a 2014 growout. So let's wait until around Xmas to take this up again. Carolyn, delighted to hear that we, Verizon and myself, might be getting closer to solving the DSL problem if the request to use a backhoe to dig up my stub is approved. The current idea is that I'm getting reflection back to me from up the road from me. I love learning new things but don 't anyone ask me to explain any of this Verizon/DSL stuff including the e-mails I'm getting from Asia that are written in either Japanese or Chinese. Perhaps my DSL modem can translate those, but not me.

Carolyn, I would be more than happy to give you seeds for C-Lime.

Do you remember? But there's no sense in my sending you chocolate in return so I'll send you some thanks seeds in the Fall when I know how seed production with my new ones has turned out. And of course that would hopefully include seeds for the Delano Green Ripe that I mentioned above, since I'm all for spreading that one around as best I can. Carolyn, who had some Belcolade chocolate wafers, from Belgium, for breakfast, good diabetic that she is.
